anyone else have a wacky gas needle?
mine goes up and down often, depending on how aggressive i drive, does anyone elses do this? its not by a large amount, but its kinda annoying. for example, if its at exactly half tank, and i go to high rpms a few times, itll go down a little, but then when i go back to driving normal, it'll go back up to half.

I don't know exactly where the probe is in the gas tank, but what you're describing sounds like the fuel moving around in the tank and the gauge probe reading that. Picture what would happen if the car was on an incline, the same thing is happening to the gas when the car changes direction, then the level returns to normal when there's relatively little g-forces on the car.
