No, I'm telling you how it functions. If you want to apply some personal
view you're welcome to. But it's just an opinion and opinions are like
arseholes, everyone has one. Given that the low resolution gauges
typically have a range read out and that underestimates the range then
there is no real need to have a fine resolution.

In reality, drivers learn to interpret the fuel gauge in a short amount
of time if they drive the same car often. So the gauge ends up
essentially saying "fill up real soon sunshine if you don't want to
spoil your day" or "everything in the garden is rosy, go for it".
