That happens to me too but i think its just the gas moving around nothing to really worry about I'm sure and yes you can get cruise control you just gotta go to a place that installs it and ask I'm sure.

Once my car gets the half tank mark, it does the same things on turns. It reads true once driving straight again or stopped. I wouldnt worry.

Please insert simple tech questions directly into the thread title - edited.
You don't have a problem -- it's normal for our Civics.

To further what Ron said, our cars use a float to measure the level of gas in the tank. So when you turn, the gas swishes to one side and the float will register that. I used to trip the heck out of all my friends by saying 'holy crap look I just burned a 1/4 tank taking that turn!'
