As mentioned, this disturbing behavior is actually normal for our Civics.

Hi,

my gas needle doesnt work for some odd reason i took it to a eletrical shop and they couldnt find out what was wrong with it.. it just stays stuck on full majority of the time and it never read the gas correct, but i kno the cluster works. the needle sometimes moves if i turn the car real hard but it goes back to full. then a few times it started to move back and forth but it never read the gas right. could it be the sending unit? or a shortage??

is this a common problem with 7th gen civics?

My 7th gen just started having this issue with the gas gauge, gas light came on then 1 mile later I had quarter of a tank again. It is seriously irritating :evil:

At least you have a gas light that comes on. I've yet to see mine come on. I ran my down where I had some what around a gallon if that. My needle is always doing its thing. I just know when it says E it's time to fuel up. I have tried searching about the gas light on here and haven't found something yet. Wondering if I have a bulb out. Someone said I don't have one.
