Faulty Fuel Gauge Delays Shuttle Launch

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050714/ap_on_sc/space_shuttle

"CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - NASA scrapped Wednesday's launch of the first shuttle flight in 2 1/2 years because of a fuel gauge that mistakenly read full instead of empty, a frustrating setback to the agency's bid to get back into space after the Columbia tragedy."

Why does the shuttle have a fuel gauge and why would it read empty right before count-down?

What mpg does it get?
