i agree...in my 94 hatch it plumits very quickly and slowly raises when going around a corner, accelerating fast, or a hill...in my first 94 hatch i had the 3" tach and it didn't seem to do it as bad, but maybe i'm just not remembering correctly...maybe i had the same problem with my toyota camry as well...i guess that's just how the japanese do it? to scare you into buying gas?
