Granted, it was cold, but the car was certainly full. Anyone seen this? Any cause for worry?

Default Mines do it on fill-ups on cold days. Dont know why though.

The needle stays there for a couple days after the fill up. I am just thinking the cold air does something to it.

My 06, has done the same thing a couple of times, but takes only an hour for it to reach the full mark. Temp here may not be as cold as where you are, but it was near O f.
