I do to most of the time, but here lately all of the time. My truck won't run off of the 15% ethanol gas. It costed me nearly a $1,000 bucks in repairs too. A local super market chain called Food City accidently ordered the 15% ethanol gasoline and the truck just about wouldn't run at all. It went strait into limp mode. The dealership that worked on my truck had alot of vehicles come in with the same thing happening, and we all had one thing in common: We all got gas at the same place; Food City. Alot of places that have cheaper gasoline; look at the pump's decals carefully before you get any gasoline cause it may be that 15% ethanol instead of the usual 10%. Your VW also requires you to get the premium fuel doesn't it? The reason I ask is because about 93% of the imports require premium gasoline that I've seen over the years.
