This may be the issue with your car. That or the float sticks a little bit. Either way, digital gauges guess too. There is nothing more accurate than doing the calulcations manually to figure out about how much gas you should have left.
I have had to do this from riding motorcycles and never being able to trust the fuel gauge. I'm also rarely more than a half gallon off what I expect to put into the car. But then I deal with numbers for a living, so I have some advantage.
