Yeah, what's called parallax error...
Is your gas tank empty or is there still some left depending on what angle you look at the needle on the gauge.
I do the latter to get a little more mileage out of my gas tank.
PS I may be dating myself, back in the day where there was a physical needle, not video needle.

Normally I would agree that it is tough to tell, but even the announcers
