On a lot of the older VWs (and Mercedes cars, as well) it says R and 1/1. The "R" supposedly stood for "reserve." I had a Saab for a while that went from 0 to 1, and the middle of the 0 lit up when fuel was low. User interface inconsistencies between cars are actually quite rampant, as anyone who's ever sat down in a rental car and tried to figure out how to turn on the windshield wipers can attest. ;)
