my gas guage isn't reading properly....when i full up it reads correctly but when as the gas is used the needle doesn't pass 3/4 full....so many time i will be running on empty and my gas guage indicates that i have plenty to go....my other guages work just fine, any insights on fixing this problem....

Try another gauge in the cluster and eliminate the gauge itself first.

well, lets trade guages cause mine will read perfect when full, but go below "E" after 2 trips to town and back

That is a waste of time. Check it with one that you are sure is working. It is actually easy to swap out, mighht take you a whole five minutes.

Honda guages are quirky. Mine will go from full to half normally and then take a long time at half and then suddenly be at just above "E" which according to the trip I make would be correct

The gauges are NOT quirky, the gas gauge does not have a linear reading that is all and they are very sensitive to the angle the car is at..
Use yuh odometer to check your mileage and correlate it to your gas gauge reading. This way you not only SURE you need gas or not, but you can monitor performance of your car instead of guessing that yuh burning more gas than normal.

How about checking the fuel pump? It has a "bobber" type thing that goes up or down indicating the level of gas in the tank.Could be bent.My car doesn't have that problem, but I live in the mountains, so when I go downhill, my gauge shows I have more gas, just as crazybalhead said.
