Question gas gauge/tank problems

I wasnt sure where to post this topic but I figured this was as good a place as any. Basically when I'm driving around in my 02 SS it seems as if the gas gauge barely moves. But the next time I start the car the gauge goes down like an 8th of a tank. It's really pissing me off. For example, I'll drive to work (about 10 miles of highway cruising) and the needle will go down like 1 milimeter. Then I'll get out of work and turn the car on and the new reading on the gauge will be like a centimeter lower?! It cant be a gas leak because I'd definately smell it or see liquid spots under the car, and I dont. Also, another thing I noticed is that it seems to take a lot longer for the tank to get from full to half then it does to get from half to empty. I just got this car a few months ago and was wondering if anyone else had these problems too, or if theres some kinda defect with just my car.
