Yes, but it's what's in the storage tanks that warrant anti-gel additives. After buying the 2006 Jetta I made the mistake of mirroring your stance. I only refuel at trusted stations, which only limits exposure to such incidents. My belief is the problem was in my tank. Despite the fact that I run the tank near empty 90% of the time, there may be condensation buildup during the warmer months -- and my gelling incident occurred during the car's second winter's first below 0°F morning.
