Default Gas meter goes up and down whneI switch to V Tech

Every time my car switches into Vtech the gas metergoes down also when I'm at low rpm and then when I speed up it goes back into place. Does anyone know what is wrong?

It's a Civic. They all do this. The fuel guage sender is in the gas tank, and will fluctuate based on your incline and rate of accelleration/decelleration.

I've had my needle move as much as a 1/4 tank on some highway onramps.

Yes sir re-Bob.

When my tank is full it goes down to 1/2 when I take the on/offramp. But comes back to Full eventually (like 5mins)
