Weird gas tank/gauge issue

Hi all,
I recently was on a trip with the 1999 Viggen, and was very low on gas. The gas light was on, and the DTE read 30 miles. I stopped to fill up, and the car only took about 13.5 gallons of gas. I got just over 500 miles out of the tank of gas before this fill up.
So, out of curiousity, I ran it down to the gas light and a DTE of 52 miles and filled up today. Again, it only took 13.4 gallons of gas.
Is this normal? I thought that the gas tank on the 9-3 had a tank capacity of 17.3 gallons...? Is something wrong with the sender or possibly the gauge?
Thanks in advance,
Nick
