    Dealers should tell new owners about this little quirk. It would save some owner anxiety. When I talked to the service department the tech told me several Prius owners have come in and inquired about the fuel gauge.

    They didn't think to say anything cause it is far from a new quirk that a car's fuel gauge stays at fuel for a bit. Seen it in all my cars, full efficient cars like hybrids just make it more obvious.
