Default 06 TDI gas gauge

My car was full, and then consumed a quarter of a tank. I topped it off with 5.5 gallons. Since this car has a tank capacity of 14.5 gal, how much fuel in each quarter of the gas gauge? There cannot be 5 gal per quarter because then the tank capacity is 20 gal. Are there only 2.5 gal in the remaining quarter section of the gauge? It helps knowing this when figuring MPG for a quarter tank.

Fuel gauges aren't proportional Perry I can do 80 miles before mine comes of the full mark.
