Gas gauge annoyance

Hello all!
The fuel gauge in my '97 aero has been driving my nuts lately. Its readings seem to go like this:
Full to 3/4: 5 gallons
3/4 to 1/2: 5 gallons
1/2 to 1/4: 5 gallons
1/4 to orange area and fuel light: ~ 1/2 gallon
Orange + light to empty: haven't checked, suspect it's also about 1/2 gallon
The problem doesn't seem intermittent: it consistently behaves this way.
I've removed the sending unit and checked it - seems ok mechanically and the resistance varies smoothly as you move the float up and down. Didn't write down exact resistance readings since I have no spec.
Has anyone else experienced this? I've heard there's some sort of elaborate calibration procedure using a Tech 2, but I don't have access to one...
