In the TDI, I've only filled with the so called "50" cetane diesel.  The one
time I didn't, at a Texaco, the car actually started to smoke.  That was the
first and last time I've filled at a Texaco station.  I always ran the
Rabbit on whatever was cheapest, and when I got it back to start rebuilding
it, I only filled once at that station, and the head gasket was already
leaking, so I wasn't able to really guage how it was doing.
