Which is exactly the point I made, right above the part you quoted. It's inconsistent. Nobody can figure out why it happens to some but not others. No, thank you. My luck isn't that good. I'd be one of "those guys". LOL
I'm bummed because I'm tuning on it now, for fun. The car drives much better around town than on pump. It's gonna be a shame to go back.

You really think my luck is that good over ten years and thousands of gallons?

Stop being so silly.

No, you're misreading my posts. If you scroll back up, you'll see I said "my luck". I haven't said anything negative about your experience.
My posts aren't about you, though we can possibly include you in "It's not that common of an issue".

Out of all the cars that run it, I've only seen four have the "goo" problem. There are stories on this and other forums, but I can't vouch for them.
That's a really low percentage, but I'm not willing to risk it. That's just me, though.
At least if we knew WHY it did it or how to avoid it, then that would be different.
