Re: The Fuel Guage shows the wrong amount of gas?
I wouldn't be too quick to pay a mechanic for this one. I'm not sure what would be causing your problem, but i pulled the whole fuel pump assembly (including the mechanical part of the gas gauge) out of my 98 camry last week in less than 15 minutes, and I had never done it before. just need an 8mm socket.
I'm honestly not sure how a gas gauge works, so take other's opinions over mine. But since you are still getting a reading, I'd assume it wasn't an electrical problem.

**These cars have an 18.5 Gallon Tank?!?!** Well then, mine is doing the same thing yours is, and I wouldn't worry about it.
