Ok here is the story. Filled up the tank from about 1/4 a tank and let it sit the night. Then drove about 20 miles loaded the car up with a couple things to move and then started driving (about 300-400lbs). A Little after I started driving it started acting funny when I hit the accelerator. It would bulk a little back and vibrate and generally act funny. Now I thought it might be the tranny, but when I stopped at a stoplight the car idled really hard shaking the car a bit. If I set the car on cruise around 55 it seems ok until I hit a hill where it starts to act funny again.. Starts fine, and idles fine until start driving it a bit.
I have checked the oil, it was low so added more to be safe, drove smoother for about a mile or two then started acting up again. Seems to be a little better since I added the oil but still acting up and scaring me.
Couple gas stations in area were shut down for adding water to their tanks, not the station I filled at but most were Marathon gas stations. Hoping this is all it is but what do you think?
Should I just go get a bottle of Heet Gas Dehydrator? Or whatever they call it?
