fuel level sending unit. it's a stupid easy fix. did mine in fifteen minutes. there's a hatch in your trunk held shut by some bolts. take those off, pull the hatch, twist your fuel pump out of the tank slowly as to not spill fuel everywhere, unclip the old sender, re-clip new one, carefully worm back into tank, seal, bolt up, and you're good to go.
go on rockauto. find your year/engine subcategory, get the fuel level sending unit. if you need help, i'm sure brian can help ya. but it's soooo easy. it's a 30 dollar part.
here's old vs new.
that's how it works. floats up and down on a potentiometer and tells the gauge how full you are.
here's the part.

and if you don't wanna do that.. use your driver info center in the cieling.
reset your meters every fill up. don't forget you have a 17 gallon tank. use your "fuel used" and refill at 10 gallons used to be safe. that's what i did for two years because the fuel level sending units weren't available without buying a $300+ pump and i didn't really give a fuck enough to buy a whole pump. when they became available more widely (sender only) i did it.

I don't think I've ever gotten that kinda mileage range in a 3800, N/A or supercharged
