Yes we have, at least for the 172. Note, however, that regular fuel gauges are not all that reliable, so much so that they are not even on the preflight checklists at my flying club; instead, you climb up and stick a finger in each tank. Of course, turns and accelerations cause the fuel to move around, but the needles often bounce around even when you're on the ground. I wouldn't trust them within 0.25 of a tank. I've read a aviation writers claiming that fuel gauges kill more people than they save by giving misleading readings, the only reliable fuel gauge is a watch, etc. etc. For now, our simulated gauges are very reliable, however.
