Interestingly the behavior being described is close to how the fuel gauges in many North American ICE vehicles work. The first half of the tank takes longer to go through than the 2nd half and then when it displays "E" there's still 1-2 gallons of fuel in the tank as a reserve.

This isn't a secret either, here's an NPR Interview where it's discussed with an Automotive Engineer.
