gas guage fluctuation

I filled up the tank yesterday to Full, and this morning I noticed that after driving 15 miles, the fuel gauge is fluctuating from Full to one bar below and full again.

Anyone else notice this?

What does the display have, 5 bars? It's not 100% full and it's not down to 80% full, so it bops back and forth. Perfectly reasonable behavior from a display designed to be crappy.

The fuel gauge on the GK actually has 20 bars so its very conceivable that it could jump back and forth between 2 bars as it transitions from one to the other.

i think each bar is equal to 1/2 a gallon i drive 20 miles and the same thing it goes down 1 bar almost always.

I'll occasionally glance at the gauge, but only start paying attention to it when it hits 2 bars, which still leaves me with a fair amount of fuel...not a fan of digital gauges, but...it is what it is...love this lil black LX to death
