Question type: Maintenance & Repair
After I get gas sometimes the next day or 2 after it
sits for about 8 hrs , it starts hard . I went to
different gas stations and that hasn't helped . It's
like it's not getting gas at first , engine light doesn't
come on and system check doesn't show anything .
It does it n warm or cold weather

This is a new car, should take it back to the dealer for repair.
When fueling stop when the nozzle clicks off. Do not keep clicking the nozzle and cramming fuel into the tank.
I'm having the same issue with my 2017 Sportage. I have had it in the dealer and they can't find anything wrong with it. It only happens about 2 times a week. Usually first thing in the morning or late at night.

I'm having the same issue with my 2019 Sportage! Almost due for it's first oil change so I'll see what they say, but will certainly not round up five cents at the gas tank either to see if that makes a difference.
I've read not to top off the gas tank on Kias. That stopped the initial lugging on my Kia.
