    Bad Gas???? Help Plz!!!!

    I woke up today taking my mom and brother to work. I needed gas to go to an interview. After I dropped off my mom I went to put gas at Race Track on Matlock, and on the way home I my car studdered and died in my complex. I tried to crank it and it wouldnt start. I felt like a fool pushing my own car around the whole complex just to get to my apartment. I tried starting it and it started. I was pretty pissed off. So I decided to get dressed for the interview and take my car and see if it would work. I hit Matlock and the car die's in the middle of the street. Luckily it started back up and now it studders when I'm going and I'm late for my interview. I called to ask them to reschedule and I'm waiting for them to call me back. The time when it died I thought the timing belt went out. But now I'm thinking it could be bad gas at the Gas Station. What do you guys think?

      check the plugs, got normal burn wear on them. Its only been about 1500 to 2000 miles since I changed them. Plus I got the Iridium NGK Sparks.

            I needed gas cuz the needle was touching the "Red Zone". I usually use QT or Shell gas.

                I agree...sounds like ya got water in the fuel. Dry-gas FTW. Dump in a bottle (or two) of any heet, iso-heet, or other water remover, then top off the tank and go from there.
                If it seems to do the trick, I'd run a second tank of it.

                      Racetrack is not good. I hate it. They like watered down gas in the isolated areas. IN the city areas they are decent but out in the middle of nowhere your fucked thats what happened to my car. MY shit would somewhat backfire and crap when idling it was horrible.
