Default Vibration Problems

I have a 1996 Audi A4 with 127,000 miles. Every thing has been fine on the car up until the other day. I filled the tank with gas from a station that I normally don't go to. Now I have tremendous vibration mainly at lower speeds and when going up hills. I think it might be catalytic converter but am not sure. Any ideas on what this could be? If it is Catalytic converter, are there any places that sell used or reconditioned ones? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Default Your catalytic converter is warranteed by Audi for a long long time...

look into this. Emmissions components have longer warranties as mandated by federal law. I KNOW catalytic converters are included, I just don't know the mileage. It may be 100,000 it may be more.

Default Re: Vibration Problems

To elaborate a little further...I am in the process of selling my car and can't sell it in this condition. My problems seem to be some sort of back pressure which is causing major vibration throughout the car at lower speeds/gears and seems to go away at higher speeds. I tried fuel injection cleaner, etc. and it didn't work. Any ideas...I'm totally frustrated,
