Gas Fillup Question

Gas Fillup Question
My car only takes about 11-12 gallons when the needle says empty or close to it (i know it's full because I can top it off until it's totally full). It has always been this way.
Is this normal? Is there a fix or reset button?

Actually, I have the same question - I could get ~13+ in the C2, almost 14 once or twice, but I'm not sure I've ever hit even 12 in Turbo.. maybe low 11 gallons at most. I'm filling up every 150 miles. I don't mind low mileage, I just hate having to fill up every day....

Same problem here. I took it down to 1 mile to go on the read out and could only put in about 14 gallons until it was completely full. Is there another 2.5 gallons still in the tank at that point?

Reserve tank is usually 2 gallons in almost every car.
M3's are that bad on gas? maybe because they rev so high ?
S4's got V8s though, its amazing that they can get 30+ highway.

The accuracy of the fuel guages on these cars (as I've been told) suck!
Mine jumps all over the place and have replaced the sender, etc... and it still is a crap shoot on how much fuel is left. I just look at the mileage now when filling up and make a subconscious note that I need to fill up again at XXX mileage (200 miles from where I'm at then).
