Fuel gauge moves a lot...
I hope this is just a quark of GM engineering.
I notice that my fuel gauge will move around a lot especially when lower that a half tank.
For example the tank is at !/4 full I go around a nice sloping corner to the right I now have 1/2 tank and if to the left DING DING DING check gauges comes on. The movement is less dramatic like I said when there'* 1/2 tank or more.
Now all other cars I've had the fuel gauge movers ever so slightly in the same situations. At this point I've just gotten used to it moving but if it'* broke than I'll add it to my list.
Thanks

Well it'* always nice to see the gauge where you assume it should be for the milage, and then it surges up and stays up. Always reassuring. Mine takes about 15 gallons when it hits the yellow line before E on average.
