Cluster analog fuel gauge - accurate or buffered?

After finally hopefully solving why the 4.6 is eating left fuel floats senders (replaced the charcoal filter), I am checking to see if the fuel gauge works properly.

Filled the tank and now in the middle of a long and spirited drive.

OBC test 6 now shows the tank has 57.5 liters left. Checking online the fuel tank capacity is 93 liters, which comes out to about 62% fuel left.

Analog gauge is just a bit under the 3/4 line.

OBC test 6 shows both senders giving data and fluctuating normally, also at Phase 1.

Also did the OBC test 21 reset and gauge pointer position did not change.

So I'm wondering if the analog gauge is buffered or there is still something wrong with the fuel measuring system.
