Andy,
I Actually like the 'bouncing' needle. With these you could wiggle or rock
the car slightly side to side (people probably thought you were rocking to
some really neat tunes) and if the needle moved some you knew you still had
a little bit of gas left in the tank. This was back in the days when we
were deep into the gas shortage. I, of course, never let the tank get that
empty now :-}
