Default Optimistic Gas Gauge

I just bought my 1995 a few months ago and it never seems to run out of gas. The gas gauge always shows 130 miles till empty or better until you are sitting at a stop light and you look down and see the reserve on and only 20 miles left. Luckily this happened to my wife on her first drive with the car. It ran out of gas in a very busy intersection. You can imagine what I had to listen to. Anybody else have this problem???? I mean with the gas gauge Any fixes??
