97 GasGauge

while i'm driving around i will noticemygas gauge can go from1/4 tank to half a tank and i'm not turning or bumps and **** like that. Also when i turn my gas can go from empty to 1/2 tank. Any one else have this problem or is it just one more think i have to fix?

well if youre driving absolutely straight at a constant speed on level ground it shouldnt be moving. if it is you've got an electical problem with the sending unit.

if the gauge moves in a turn or upon rapid acceleration or braking, thats normal.

it bounces up and down when going up and down hills. Mine has read a difference of almost a 1/4 tank when it gets low and I'm driving up and down hills.

Yeah, its cool. When I take exits I go from 3/4 to 1/4... Takes a lot of fuel to take those exits
