After filling up with 93 octane at a gas station in the middle of nowhere, my engine ran great for like 10 mins than after that it started idling weird, died at idling speeds, and lagged. My troubleshoot was that I pumped in some very nasty and bad gas, that probbaly clogged up my fuel filter and sock.

With the rising gas prices these days, its best to stick to a brand name gas station that you can trust even if its slightly higer than the rest. At least in the end you don't have to regret that your car died on the road due to bad gas.

I use mainly citgo gas.. the refinery is just outside of town from me so its usually pretty reasonable.
