That seems very likely.

My theory is fuel additives. It seems like I get them after running 1/4 tank of gas from some stations (then have to deal with it until the next fillup) then after using 1/4 tank of a fillup from another station it goes away. I hope to test this theory on a 3,500 mile road trip in September.
