gas guage problem

Hey I don't know if this is a common problem or not.. But my gas guage doesn't go down when i drive.. It might go down a bit, but like when i drive an hour and a half or so it won't go down very car. But when I start up my car the next time magically i have like a lil over 1/8 of a tank gone

Mine sure dosn't do that. I just got back from an 800 mile trip. The guage went from full to 1/4 tank 4 times.
