gauges acting stupid when car's off

on my '90 b the gauges all read normal except the fuel gage pointing to the bottom of the F when it's full when my ignition switch is in the run position, but when i switch the car off my speedo reads 20, my tach 1,750, my oil pres. and temp. in the middle, and my fuel gauge reads a little lower than what's actually in the tank, but the voltmeter reads 0, which i think it should with the car off. it's not that big of a deal to me since they read right while i'm driving, but is this a sign of a way bigger problem?

they are electronic gauges so they don't read right when your car is off it's normal they sorta just float around when it's off
