Default fuel gauge malfunction

doesn't read fuel level correctly on my 98 ek. goes up and down on its own. plummets when i accelerate. is it a broken sensor or what?

Sounds like a normal Civic gas gauge.

really? it's annoying... i feel like it's more a MPG/fuel consumption gauge like on the BMW, rather than what it really is.

does it still generally go down over time as you consume gas?

yeah

but my issue is the fluctuation of the needle. it goes down as i accelerate, but will come back up as i drive a lot more economically.
