Default gas needle on 93VX hatch changes constantly

might be a strange question so ill give you an idea what im talking about ::

i get in my car today with a half tank: while im driving around it goes higher or lower and everything in between .. im not driving like a mad man enough to slosh the tank around .. but i thought i would ask since im a new hatch owner::

does this happen to you guys?

dude that SO happens,

i'm on my second hatch and its got just ask crazy of a needle as my last one.

taking corners is what does it the most.

you hit a free way on ramp, and it'll look you your mileage just went to .05miles per gallon... then a mile down the road, WOAH its all back! gasp!

haha, only pay attention to your gas meter when your cruisin straight.. or sitting at a light, haha.
