How does the fuel gauge display in the Excelle?

The fuel gauge display method in the Excelle: E indicates an empty tank, F indicates a full tank. If the fuel level in the tank is too low, the control indicator light will illuminate. Please refuel as soon as possible and avoid running the tank completely dry. Due to residual fuel in the tank, the amount added may be less than the specified tank capacity. The Excelle is a compact car launched by SAIC-GM Buick, with dimensions of 4609mm in length, 1798mm in width, and 1464mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2640mm. It is equipped with a 1.5L L4 naturally aspirated engine or a 1.3T L3 turbocharged engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
My Buick Excelle has been running for almost 5 years, and the fuel gauge is quite intuitive. When starting the car, the fuel gauge needle on the right side of the dashboard slowly rises from zero to the current fuel level, with the red zone at the bottom indicating the fuel warning area. The LCD screen also simultaneously displays the remaining range. A few days ago after refueling, it showed a range of 580 kilometers, which dropped to around 520 when the air conditioning was turned on. The small screen in the middle of the dashboard has a wave-like icon representing the fuel tank, accompanied by a digital percentage and range, which is most accurate during the self-check when starting the car. Over time, I've noticed that the fuel gauge drops quite linearly. Driving at 80 km/h on the highway is much more fuel-efficient than stop-and-go traffic in the city, where the needle barely moves for a long time. When the fuel level drops to a quarter, the fuel tank icon turns yellow and flashes, and if it gets even lower, an alarm will sound to remind you to refuel.
