This is the typical Honda fuel tank reading. It varies as the time around the middle. Usually more stable around E.

Normal for all 7th Gen Civics to bounce around readings.

honda dealer, it requires removing the rear seat cushion and opening the fuel tank lid. not recommended to diy. you will 99% spill some fuel so put rags down everywhere if you do. my car smelled like a gas station for a week.

mine does that, usually when i drive on hilly roads or when you turn off your car and start it again it will fluctuate. I wouldnt worry about it

Mine did the same thing when it was brand new. I had it replaced by Honda and about 6-8 month later it started to happpen again.

Honda uses some bootleg fuel sending units.

So i went to the Honda dealer and i told her that i bought used car there and i add extended waranty...she told me that the guaranty was for the parts not for the labor cause the car didnt have the OEM Guaranty so they are charging me $100 for it....do you think its a good price or should i just stick with my car like that?

its up to you. but dont get mad if you get stranded cause it says you still have gas and you dont really.

If you can live with it, then fine. If not then pay up and get it fixed. I know even thought they claimed to fix mine, it still doesn't work right. I've just gotten used to it. I'll never got back to Honda again, unless its major work that needs to be done.
