"I agree, placing the gas pump/arrow symbol next to the bottom  of the vertical gauge can mislead anyone. The two white lines are a little confusing, perhaps a yellow color instead? My fuel gauge is a circular analog type with a needle, the gas pump/arrow symbol at 9 o' clock, well above the empty mark for less confusion. When reaching the empty mark, several chimes and another gas pump symbol elsewhere in yellow turns on, telling me to fill up. "
