Re: WHY DOES MY GAS GO UP AND DOWN (lv6l)
not sure what it is but mine does it to ... especially if i accel and then maintaint the speed it will go down then slowly back up ... i think its from the fuel moving around in the tank but not sure man ... good luck with the answer

Re:
Its something normal i guess because i do face the same thing when i floor it and in less than 1 min it goes back to normal
but not exactly the same old level because I already wasted that fuel !

Um... yeah when you move, the liquid known as fuel sloshes around and the sensor gets an inaccurate reading. It just slower going up than it is going down. Like when you fill up your gas tank even though it's full it takes a minute or two to show that it's full.

it is because the fuel is moving, once u get below a half tank it does it worse, mine sometimes goes from 3/4 tank to E
use your trip meter to tell how much gas u have, not that POS gauge
