Luckily he realized the mistake in time, and I did not start the engine. He attempted to siphon the fuel out, but because it is a 2005 Jetta he could not do it, so I had to tow it to a VW service, and it turned out to be a ~200 job! VW road assistance program covered the towing cost, but not the service, so I paid that and the attendant reimbursed me today. I feel sorry for him, hopefully the gas station will give him a refound. For the price of 5 hours of work missed and some stress I think my lesson is to not trust the attendants anymore.
What would have happened if you ran it on regular gas?
