Gas sloshes around in the tank. Mine does the same thing. Some newer cars have an "Electronically Stabilized" gas gauge. Personally, I think that is overkill........ Could be that your baffles are gone/broke loose/never installed..... Not really a "problem", just an annoyance.

If it does that abruptly, then you may have a bad connection in the dash. The reason I say dash and not the tank is because the clutch movement is felxing the dash area possibly causing a bad ground or connection. The gauges just plug in, nothing really keeps them tight so it might be worth checking. Pulling the dash is no big deal, I've had mine out so many times that I put a zipper on it.
