I think its because the gauages are needles and not digital so it doesn't have an exact reading for the amount of gas. I notice that when I fill all the way up, it goes past the F indicator and I put around 60 miles before it falls below. Same reasoning behind the E indicater, i figure.

I figure on approximately 100 miles/tick mark -- a little more at the top, a little less at the bottom (i.e.: full=0 miles, 3/4=120 miles, 1/2=210 miles, 3/4=300 miles, empty=just under 400 miles). It usually doesn't get below the F until 50-80 miles.
