    Did you fill the tank, or just add a little bit? If you just add a little bit, the display won't update.

    (Probably because it's hard for the car to tell exactly how much is in the tank, as the reading changes while you move, and while the car is pointed uphill or downhill, etc. So it can't tell the difference between the car being on an incline and adding a gallon or two, but it can tell when you fill the whole tank.)
