Fuel gauge goes down under acceleration.

Any reason why this would happen? The gauge can go down by up to 1/4 of a tank.

Does it go back up when you stop accelerating?!

Tank's not baffled or your car's really thirsty under acceleration.

Nah its an 4AGZE AE92 sedan, I've never owned a NGV. Yeah it comes back up when I return to cruise. I've driven plenty of cars that do it but not 1/4 of a tank.
