'94 940 Turbo Lurching/No Power 900 1994

Well it turned out to be the main fuel pump. So I got it replaced and she's running like a top again. I drove around quite a bit last night to make sure and it seems to have solved the problem. My mechanic (who by the way is a great and honest guy, if you are in Atlanta on the northside you should bring your car to him, Europe Car, in Dunwoody off Chamblee Dunwoody and Mt. Vernon) said the old pump would only work erratically when he took it out to test it. It would stop and if he hit it with a hammer would start again. Is there any way I can avoid this happening again in the future? Does it matter that I never put premium unleaded in? I buy the cheapest gas I can find (usually Kroger gas), could that be hurting things?

Thanks for the help.

Josh
