Fuel gauge acting very weird!! Help!!

I have a 2010 Honda Civic lx sedan with 100,000 miles. A few weeks back I started my car with about a half tank of gas. The gas gauge on my dash, the “F” and the “E” went out and the bars that show you the amount of gas you have left went out, but here’s the weird part the bars that went on we’re the ones of the amount of gas I do not have left in the car. So tonight the bars that were lit up in the car were the first two on the left showing what I don’t have in the car. Then after some driving it will go back to normal, the f, e, and the bars that show me what I have left in the car. I hope someone has seen this before. I don’t want to bring it to my mechanic if We have no idea what’s causing this problem. Meaning throwing bunch of new parts.

Vin

thanks for the help in advance!
