How do you tell how much gas you have in a Honda Fit 2015 how do you read guage?

The gauge on the bottom right is the fuel gauge. It is a digital gauge with bars that move down as you use fuel. There are 20 bars so when all are showing the tank is full. When 15 are showing you have 3/4 of a tank of fuel. When you see 10 you have half a tank. When 5 are showing you have 1/4 tank left. When it gets to the very last bar you have around 1.5 gallons of reserve fuel left. The arrow shows you the fuel filler door is on the passenger side.
