Faulty signal sender in the tank.
You need a new fuel pump
a bad sending unit in the gas tank.
I would assume that the wires are hooked up backwards
It would be better to write: My gas gauge reads empty. Note that 'gauge' is singular, so it needs the singular verb, reads. If you had several cars all with gas gauges that read empty, then the verb would be read.
fuel sending unit in the fuel tank..... cost alot of $ and you have to cut the exhaust...... just keep it full and drive that mf'er
bad fuel pump it could also mean that the fule ammount sencor is out.good luck.
On a car, there is a float inside your gas tank. It is attached to a switch that sends the empty.....full signals to your fuel gauge.

A common cause for a gas gauge to stop working in a 1994 Ford Aspire is a defective fuel gauge. Lose wiring in the dash is another cause.
Most Likly a fuel sender problem
A gas gauge that stays on empty in a 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora could be due to a faulty fuel level sending unit, which is part of the fuel pump assembly and measures the fuel level in the tank. Additionally, wiring issues or a blown fuse in the gauge circuit could also be the culprit. If the gauge itself is malfunctioning, it may require replacement. Diagnosing the issue typically involves checking the sending unit and associated electrical components.
