Is this a problem?

Contaminated or, off brand, cheap stuff!
What brand do you use and octane level?

Check the oil level---"small chance" the oil filter or drain plug are not anchored.

But it sounds like the starter is the problem!

its almost a mile high here, so the best we have is 91, shytty i know. I dont buy from a particular gas station, usually where its cheapest, avg is 2.90 here, so if I see it for 2.75, im all over it. Being that the car only has 2k miles on it, I have a hard time believing the starter is crapping out already, but anything can happen. I hope its just shytty petrol, ill monitor it and after the next fill up (ill use shell v power), if it still does it, shes goin in.

^ Shell is good gasoline to use! 91 is fine!
Don't mix them, different brands have different additives, and different volatile levels. How does the car run after you get it started?

like a champ! It starts up on one push, just varies on occasion how long it takes to kick over, sometimes right away, sometimes after a sec or so, weird actually.

^Probably not the gas then. But stick to "one good name brand gasoline".
I mixed two different (Shell & Chevron) gasolines about 6 mths. ago, my engine was not happy.
