Default Gas meter when full

Just wondering if everyone else's gas meter goes slightly above max on a full tank?

OK so at 1/8th tank it comes on. I guess that's the reserve tank then eh?

There is no reserve tank. It's just a warning that you're low on fuel.

As to the guys above....that was my point.
In some aussie cars, for example the Holden Monaro (You guys will know it as a pontiac GTO) when it hits empty then the fuel light comes, same with my old mans merc
