Please DO remember that this only goes when using the same
meter for both measurements... So this would only truly be
the case when you've taken your multi meter and put it on the
battery, measured 14 volts, then used the connection for the
meter behind the dash to measure there with the multi meter...

For all you know the dash gauge's calibration is WAY off,
it certainly wouldn't surprise me if it was...
