The gauge reading is dependent on a contact sliding up and down a wire for a variable resistance, probably pretty good when new, but years later... the light is switched on and off by a contact at the bottom of the fuel gauge touching, while fuel can slosh in and out, if that contact is being made you are definitely low.
