Man, that sucks. You can't fault her, though, she's probably just used to the little nozzle going in the big hole. 
But like dammitmike said, it shouldn't be a huge problem as far as messing anything up. It just won't run and everything will need to be drained/purged, etc.

I'll keep you guys updated. I'm flying out to Miami though this afternoon. Try not to miss me too much over the weekend guys.

That's too bad, Nate. It won't be tough to fix, just a little tedious (and $$$$ if/since it's a VAG dealer doing the work 
).
It's funny about the 'that's impossible' thing (putting diesel in a gasoline-powered car). It's only 'impossible' if you haven't been alive very long. Before the switch to all unleaded fuel, all fuel fillers were MUCH bigger than now. I'm guessing the Mustang in question was not a leaded fuel user, given the "GT" moniker, but the Mustang as a model is certainly old enough to be able to get a diesel nozzle in a gasoline filler neck.
Could also have been from a portable (i.e. pickup) tank, or any number of other ways. 'Impossible' usually isn't.
