They _do_ read differently at rest and underway.  I've never figured
out whether this is due to changes in gas tank attitude while moving
or current flow.  If I think I'm getting too low for comfort, I'll stop for
a minute on a level surface.  That reading seems to be more accurate 
than what you get while moving.
