    it would go up and down when the car is parked on the flat spot?
    if that is the case you need to replace the sending unit inside the fuel tank. it is easy to do and and it shouldn't cost you a lot of money. Go to junk yard and pick one up.

    and if it's while you're driving, it depends on how much you have in your tank and your driving style. sudden starts and stops make the guage jump up and down much more than granny driving.
