Prolly because it moves the float around in the tank and thinks there is more gas there than there is.

I never pay that close attention to the gauge just because of how bizarre it reads.
I fill it, and when the gas light comes on, I fill it again.
The bars mean nothing to me

yeah, its from the fuel in the tank moving around and giving the car a false reading.

I reset the odometer and go on the mileage. I fill up around 230-240 miles.
