All the needles are off. I've had 4 at the same time and there none of them read the same when full.

mine is right on top of the white line when full. But stays there for only 4 miles.
it drops to half rather quick and stays near empty for the longest time
If I fill it when it's on E I get 7-8 gallons in, meaning I still had 3 gallons left.

If I'm driving uphill, my gauge reads low
driving downhill my gauge reads high
=p

id just take the cover off the cluster and move it myself.

i thought i was going to get pictures all over the place. i dont know why they changed my title on the thread. i would think that people would be more prone to help. i know everyone on here has a cell with a camera on it

gas expensive bro. No one fills up anymore. They just put enough to get to where they're going
Remember Hondas get @ 40mpg, I fill up once a month, Wait till next month for a pic

When mine is completely full I see the gauge going above the F...but just a little...stays there for 100 miles or so. Usually the last half a tank is when it sinks like a stone.

If it hasn't caused you to run out of gas, and still tells how much fuel is in the tank, why mess with it?

Ok, then how do you know it's a problem with the gauge?

Could be the sending unit.
