Gas gauge floating

left for work yesterday, was 1/2 between 3/4 and full.

get a couple miles down the road, and i'm at just about 3/4, sitting in the drive through for my mcgriddle, it's under 3/4, get down the road and it's back up a little,

leave work last night and i'm back to just about half between 3/4 and full (drive to work is 7 miles stop and go).

on the way home, dropped back to just over 3/4.

input, do i have a sticky floater, or something in the electronics

Mine changes depending on the up or down incline. I just keep an eye on my odometer. and fill up every 350 miles whether or not it needs it.
