Need help with FUEL GAUGE now!!

Hey guys,

I found something with my car and I don't know if it's a problem or not. But here's what's up with the fuel gauge:

I don't know why, but whenever I fill up the tank, I drive as little as 20 miles, and the big hand on the fuel gauge does all the way to empty. Now, there's a little fuel gauge under the big fuel gauge that says 0, 1/8, and 1/4. But there's no pointer on it. Should there be one? My theory is that if it's not broken, it doesn't come in until you're down to your last 1/4 tank... is this true? Anyone know how it works?

Sorry about my dumbass questions, I'm not really retarded, I swear! I just bought the car.
