How long does it take to insert a PEG tube?

Why do the needles on the fuel gauge go up and down?
I noticed that during the last few days, when I start the car, the needles on the fuel, speedometer and temperature gauges go all the way up and then back down. After they finish moving, I then see the engine lights go on and off. Normally, when I start the car, just the engine lights go on and off. The movement of the needles on the gauges is new.
Why do the Needles move up and down when I start the car?
