Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Reported cause
It was the fact that it was -3C yesterday and I didn't have a jacket with me.
Leading evidence: 'fact' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'fact' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Run costs' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Crikey, it's one thing to moan about Porsche maintenance and running costs, but it is another if you can't stretch to a full tank of Super!

Suggestion
You could always set the odometer if its a common problem for you so that you know to fill up again after 200 miles or so
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

All C4's have a saddle-shaped fuel tank, and the level sensor only measures down to about 1/4 tank. After that, it calculates the level based on fuel consumption to give the gauge display. You need to have at least 19 litres of fuel in it to get a reading from the level sensor, so if it is very low you will have to add over £20's worth before the gauge will register.
Just goes to show how much fuel has gone up in price. I have just put £26 in the tank and it still says I have only 21 miles of range left!
I presume it is still OK to drive and that it wont be starved of fuel becuase of the shape of the tank?
I can't believe that on a £60k+ car that there are these stupid problems FFS! Even my first car, a 1996 Ford Fiesta, had a better fuel gauge.
Thats explains a lot, I found myself without my wallet the other day and only had a £20 in my pocket. I needed fuel to get me home, so poped in £20 worth, the fuel gauge didn't move. I actually went back in the garage and told them there pumps were not working... I made a right fuss....
Happens to me on occasion too. I ignore it, and usually the following day or the next time I start it up its all fine.

Half tank shaves another 0.25 sec of the 0-100*
*Unlikely but only time mine is half filled is when I cant get hold of the super stuff and have to stick with 95 RON
Normally I fill it every time, otherwise I would be at the pumps every couple of days. It was the fact that it was -3C yesterday and I didn't have a jacket with me. :santa:
