Dash/Gauge problems (gas, oil, etc)

[bwong365]

I recently purchased a 1993 buick regal limited coupe, great condition, except for 3 major and some minor problems:

1. The gas gauge is acting up, I've done some research, but it looks like my problem is a little different (i'm not an expert so i guess that's up to your feedback); the gauge shoots to empty when I'm accelerating from a stop, and then slowly rises back to around half a tank, it will then float anywhere from 1/4 to just under 1/2 during normal city driving. (this is with only about 2.5 gal of gas in there)
O the gauge stays at 1/4 when the car is off

2. The oil pressure gauge (am i right, i'm pretty dumb when it comes to cars, but it's the one in kPa) flutters constantly and is always stuck at the far right hand side, way past 830kPa. (to clarify i mean, it is always at that point unless it's fluttering around the meter like crazy, generating an annoying flapping noise)

3. The deck: the clock/lcd screen will randomly fade off and on during driving (usually stays nice and bright, but it's a little annoying when it experience it's 5 minute bursts of turning off every once in a while). The sound is not affected.

Sorry for the long list, i would have put them all in seperate threads, but I thought maybe some of them could be related in some way

O btw does anybody know how costly it is to replace the antenna on this car? it's the motorized one, the top section is almost snapped off and you can hear the antenna motor failing to work everytime you turn off the radio
