I don't know if this is normal for all the 6th gens but my gas needle takes like 2 minutes after i fill up to climb all the way up. Is anyone else having this or is it just me?
THanks!

Weird, mine is instant. When I start my car after filling up it shoots straight to F. No delays or slow needle climb.
I will go slow if I keep the ignition on and watch it as it fills up but its pretty even with the pump flow. When the pump stops its already on F.

I have an 01 ex and mine takes a while to reach the F after filling up.
Per my owner's manual -
4 cylinder models: The gauge stays at the same fuel level reading after you turn off the ignition. When you add fuel, the gauge slowly changes to the new reading after you turn the ignition back ON (II).
6 cylinder models: The needle returns to the bottom after you turn off the ignition. The gauge shows the fuel level reading immediately after you turn the ignition switch back ON (II).
