Is it unreasonable to expect a full tank of gas on delivery?
And, actually...a CPO car is required to be clean and be delivered with a full tank of gas (per Porsche).
Fill up the tank, send them a copy of the receipt and have them reimburse you.
Good luck!
Cars are always shipped with minimum fuel just for fire/safety reasons. But any dealer should fill it up. Mine was...
But that being said, If I bought a car off the lot and it wasn't at 10 miles, then yeah I'd expect that it might have a bit less than a full tank just from being test driven.. But for a delivered build, they should fill the damn thing...

They gave us a $100 Shell card and the car was filled on delivery of the new 14' Audi Q5 TDI we recently purchased. Plus when we picked up the vehicle after the initial 5K service it was filled up again courtesy of the sales rep.
Nice touch
Not an unreasonable request at all.
The car should come with a full tank of the most premium gas available.
Mine came with a full tank though I'm not sure what kind of gas they put in but since my P-Car dealer also owns a Petron Station, I'm assuming its the good stuff.

the manual clearly says that premium fuel is required (although it does not mention an octane rating)
In my experience, it really depends on the dealership. I received what I considered excellent customer service from a Porsche dealership that didn't sell me my car...my P4S broke-down on a Saturday; I was able to drive it to this dealership; the Service Department was closed; one of the salesmen drove me home; on the following Monday, the Service Department called to inquire whether I wanted a loaner delivered to me; after the car was repaired they explained they wanted to keep it an extra day to test all the fault codes; after that was done, they delivered my P4S to me at home. By the same token, I once received absolutely lousy service from a Lexus dealership. [I've owned 5 Lexus cars.] I visited this particulat Lexus dealership one Saturday morning to test their GS cars; I arrived in a leased SC400 that was about to end; I waited 45 minutes for a test drive that lasted 5 minutes and was told that I needed to schedule an appointment for a test drive; I left and drove to another Lexus dealership where I bought a GS that same day.
