If the posts on this site (and my own fuel gauge) are any clue, I think you'll find that it isn't anywhere close to being linear. Personally, the only thing useful about the gauge is that the last bar reliably starts flashing with .9 to 1 gallon remaining.
I use the trip meter to estimate how much is left and start looking for fuel about 10-15 miles after the flashing bar.
