The words "normal" and "gas gauge" don't really connect here. The fuel gauge can fluctuate a good bit. For me it seems that the 1st and last quarter of gauge last the longest with the middle range being hard to pin down, like the opposite of your VW. Remember also that R is not empty but "reserve" which my manual states is 4 gallons. So what you're getting seems about right to me. Even with the fuel gauge operating correctly, I always reset my trip when I fill up and just watch my miles. I know that when I'm over 425 mi or so, I'm down to about 3-4 gallons. I consistently get between 28-29mpg. The warning light also seems pretty reliable, coming on almost everytime at about 4gal remaining - just like the manual says it should.
Count yourself lucky, alot of people here have broken fuel gauges that don't provide any idea of what you've got left in the tank.
