So it happens. h:

If you make routine use of a fuel injector cleaner, you're fine.
This old Golf I referred to had been run hard and criminally neglected. h:

both times i drove from my house to Toronto, Ontario, Canada (~600 miles) i would fill back up once just outside of the Lewistown Bridge (border point). then i would arrive in Toronto with about 3/4 of tank left.
