Fuel gauge - stuck 1/4 tank low?

Not a major issue, but curious: Anyone else have a gas gauge that will never go to "Full", and perpetually reads about 1/4-1/3 tank low? This seems to ONLY affect the physical needle, not the computer itself.

For example: This AM, my gauge was on E. Miles remaining was showing me around 160, after putting about 300 miles on the car since last fill up. In other words, the computer seemed accurate, with a full-tank range of 450-475 miles indicated. But when I filled the tank, it reads just below 3/4. I've only owned the vehicle for a few weeks, but every fill-up has been the same, never going over 3/4 tank on the needle, even if the miles remaining estimate is right around 500 miles.

Not a show-stopper, just mildly annoying, wondering if there's any simple way to "calibrate" the needle itself.
