It's a known fault with the float in the petrol tank, when your going downhill you'll gain fuel, when going uphill you'll see it decrease.

Yeah fuel sender unit, it's simple to replace, lift the back seat and pull back the carpet so you can see a black circular cap, remove that and it's just right there
