1 - gauge not correct (when you fill your tank, does it seem correct - gallon wise?)
2 - fuel filter clogged
3 - weak fuel pump (this happened on my 88 chevy trk)
just a couple ideas I thought of.

my gauge bounces around when i take off fast or hit the brakes but it seems right. im gonna try the sea foam in it and if that dont help im gonna change the filter. my truck has a holley throttle bodie on it. im not sure if that has anything to do with it or not
