mine never had any problem like this until after i threw in a TT fuel pump, after that i started noticing it dropped a lot faster...and when i filled up, it only takes 8 or 9 gallons tops...
i also noticed that when i take long turns to the right (like a long curve, or an on/off ramp), shifting the weight to the left of the car...the side where the pump is, the gas gauge drops considerably...like it can be full when going straight, and down to a half tank when i'm turning right...
and just the opposite when i'm making a long gradual left turn, and shifting all the fuel in the tank to the right side of the car, away from the pump...i can go from E all the way back up to a half tank
kinda nice knowing that i can still go quite a ways after i hit E, but it's gonna suck when i wanna go to the track with just like a quarter tank of gas, because i'll have no way of telling how much fuel i have left...

I've learned not to fret when my gas light comes on. It's nice knowing I still have about 5 gallons left in the tank. I've found that even when the needle is just below the lowest line, I still have about 1 and a half to 2 gallons left.
