why does my car do this? Its getting old very fast

so everytime i get gas, the clock is reset to 12:00 and the radio gets turned to am instead of fm.

It only does this when i shut my car off to get gas, never just daily driving!

What is going on, and how do i make it stop? is the battery getting weak?

wow, this is a weird one. nobody's heard of this? maybe some signal running from the fuel guage unit interfering with the ECM? i've heard of signals jumping across lines and causing interference through induction, but mostly with speedos, tachs, things like that, not fuel gauges.
