There's articles on this "phenomenon". Every vehicle manufacturer sets E and F incorrectly on purpose. Vehicle gauges are designed to not start sliding off F as soon as you pull away from the pump, and are set to not sputter out as soon as the E line is hit. For the most part, it's to make the consumer feel better about their vehicle fuel consumption.
