I calibrated my stick the other way -- started with a full tank (37 gallons useable), removed two gallons, marked the stick (35 gallons), lather, rinse, repeat. If you do that, zero on the stick corresponds to zero useable in the tank.

Interesting, perhaps that is why the dipstick George mentioned above starts at minus 2 instead of zero.
