if the gauge still fails to work then you could have a bad sending unit or a bad gauge.
i would think that the reserve light should still function if the gauge is bad. if the sender was bad i dont think it would work. but its possible that the reserve light bulb has blown too.

i had a very similar problem. i put in about 5 gallons of gas and the meter didnt even move. so i knew i had enough to drive down to the gas station i filled it up full tank and it was about 35 bucks. (use 92 because i have a h22)my meter went up with no problem. hope yours will do the same.

My prelude cluster's fuel guage stopped working. I could smack the top of my dash and the needle would go up to where it belongs, but then slowly drop back down to empty. I bought another cluster from LKQ and that fuel guage didn't work at all. I exchanged it for a second cluster and that one works fine. I'm sure if you swap your cluster out that should fix the problem.
Also, my low fuel light worked on both bad clusters, so it was independant of the faulty needle.
