Thanks for the response.
I have been waiting for the timer to do its things, the segments flash up (or down whichever it is) and then it gives the final reading. The readings I'm getting after the timer has run have varied by three segments. Actually four now, it showed full (no segments empty) for the first time today. It has usually shown one segment empty (one down from max), but in the past it has gone down to four empty - always after the timer has run but before I start the engine.
I'm guessing the guage is very sensitive to grade (angle of the car) and this may account for some of the difference, but all of it ?
