Nah, your fuel readings are about right. If you're on the "E" and filling up 14 gallons, you're right on the money. It's 14 gallons with a 3 gallon reserve. That means the light should come on when you have burned 14 gallons, leaving 3 gallons still in the tank. So essentially, the 2+0 has a 17 gallon tank, but "E" is actually at the 3 gallons to go mark.
