Ya I found that out after when asking some friends who live in areas
where they have it. Although for some reason it did seem different even
my wife noticed the exhaust on our TDI seemed to smell worse than usual
till we got a fresh tank of fuel. It may have just been bad in that
particular station. I was just glad I never got pulled over and tested
;-) I hear the fines are stiff.

The "Red" in the diesel is a dye. It is for easy identification  
purposes for off road/agricultural use. The federal road tax is not  
applied/charged on that fuel. The dye is intended to provide easy  
identification by Troopers for violations. The actual fuel is the same  
from both pump handles. Imagine the lawsuits that would fly if the  
fuels were different and an engine failed or was damaged.

No I haven't and I hope I never do.  8-p

I suspect it would void my Jetta warrantee, which demands a certain
grade of fuel.
