So when you were leaving the gas station, and you shut your car off: Was the car warmed up at that point? Or was the engine cold?

If I were you I'd go out and try to re-create the problem just to see what exactly the "trigger" for the problem is. If it's multiple cold starts, not starting well when warm, something like that.
