Cessna 172 with Wild Fuel Gauge Needle

The gauge has to indicate the quantity of

quarter level like you see on cars.

Really? Mine have five hash marks labeled "E", "1/4", "1/2", and "F". The mark
for 3/4 full is not labeled at all. The plane does have a placard beside the
tank selector valve indicating the total fuel capacity. Perhaps that's a fairly
new requirement? My aircraft was certified in the late '80s or early '90s.
