Gas 80% / 85% 5.5Gal. to fill

Is it normal for the Gas Gauge to read at times 80% or 85%, then at fill up, only take 5 Gallons?
Thanks

It is a 21.1 gallon gas tank. That’s pretty close. And why would you fill up the car when it has almost a full tank anyway?

Don't drive it that much. Like to keep the tank full to help keep condensation from forming. Its an OCD thing....
