Default Sticky gas needle

So i believe there is something weird going on with my gas needle, the night before i pumped $10 into the car and when i got into the car to check how much gas did i get, the needle stayed the same as if i never pumped any gas into the car, then this morning i went for a little drive and out of no where i notice my gas needle going up as where it should be after i pumped gas into it from last night. what could be the problem guys? Help please, because i do believe this could be the same reason why i see my gas needle drop so quick from driving around and that my gas mileage shouldn't be bad at all.

I dont think 10 dollars of gas does much nowadays try putting in at least 25 and see if it moves

My last fill up was the same thing you experienced. Gas warning light was on, I filled up at gas station, started the car and noticed that needle still pointed empty and gas warning light stayed on. The next day everything was back to normal.

Since many of us experenced the same symptom, there must be something wrong. Anyone who can figure it out please share.
