Gas Gauge

So I add about 3 gallons of gas to my Yaris from a gas can, hop in and start driving. However, I noticed the level never moved on the gauge. About a mile or so down the road the level jumps up to show the gas I added. This has happened on more than two or three occasions. My question is does anyone else have this going on? My concern is that I have an electrical problem developing.

That's a normal behavior for a partial fill.

the Yaris is different than other cars in this matter. It is just weird. It is more fun that way.
