I was in the not so good part of town yesterday and needed fuel. Stopped at a convenience store to take on a small amount of fuel to get me to my main ethanol free pure gasoline station. Unfortunately the convenience store advertised "may contain up to 10% ethanol" at the pump. I put only a few dollars worth to get me to my main station which sells pure gasoline (no ethanol). Filled up the rest of the tank and went to lunch. After lunch, started the car and that is when the missing and gagging began. Immediately revved the engine slightly so that it wouldn't die. When I arrived home, the car seemed to idle down fine. So, we'll see how it runs today, but I do know the fuel filter needs changing and I'm going to add Gumout complete to the fuel system.
I think the bad gas may have come from the convenience store, but I have no proof. The car was not missing and idled smoothly prior to yesterday's gas mishap.
