Gas gauge fluctuations
My gas gauge on the 93 eg fluctuates like crazy at any little thing I do. On turns, on acceleration, on hills (that are not even steep)... I've driven integra and preludes and newer civics 00+, and they did not do this. Is this normal on EG's?? (its really annoying, becausy when i have about 1/4 of tank left and it fluctuates, it easily goes on empty, and in traffic that annoys the crap out of me)

Yea, thats exactly what my car does. So I guess its normal for the eg's 
. Is it because they have a small tank? How big is the tank anyway? (I noticed that 6 gallons almost fill it up for me)

The baffles in the EGs are not that great compared to EK/EM I've noticed. Really shouldn't worry about it since I autocrossed my EG with 1/8 tank and no fuel starvation.

The only thing I can think of is because there is a ground that is loose. Your gauge has to ground either at the cluster or on the electrical side by the pump to read how much is in it...this happened to an old truck of mine when the ground came loose...only thing I can think of
been there done that

Why does it make you nervous? There's still gas in the tank. It's just sloshing around fooling the gas sensor.
