Default weird fuel gauge problem (searched)

Just curious if anyone knows why this might be happening....

Lately my fuel gauge (4th gen EL) reads a couple of notches below full even just after I fill the tank. It also seems like it reads low very quickly, as it said i used almost half a tank in 96 miles. the rest of the tank read like normal after i assume the fuel "caught up" with the gauge, however lately it's been saying i'm on empty (and i mean zero bars AND the light is on) even when i've got 2 gallons to go in the tank, maybe three. Anybody know what would be causing this? TIA

perhaps it might be because you are too low on fuel, so the low fuel light comes on?
