a couple days ago i put $10 of gas at a place where i never fill up but i needed gas bad. well anyways i started up my car today to go to school and it seemed a lil rough. as i was driving everytime i got on it the car was jerky and never wanted to go. do u think this could b bad gas? or somethin alot worse?? thanks for ur guys help

probably watered down gas, or you got gas when their underground take was low (condensation builds at the bottom)

but keep in mind, it could just be bad timing. could be spark plugs, fuel filter etc. try putting some 93 octane in there, see if it smooths out a little.

if i put 93 octane in there would i have to keep puttin it in or just this once... and if is bad gas should i just put new gas in or should i drain it there is hardly any in there

oh well if you didnt put that much in drain it. then put your regular gas in, if it still runs rough and youre not throwing a code, try checking the usual stuff, plugs, filters, etc.

Sometimes GTs will "gurgle" or sputter a bit when the engine is cold.

Try these in order (running the car after each one)

- Drain the tank, fill with different gas
- Clean the MAF
- Change the fuel filter
- Service or replace the IAC
- Service/replace fuel pump

That should solve it...And about your 93 octane question; No. If you mix different octane ratings of gas, it will basically just average out. There shouldn't be a problem. Bad gas isn't extremely uncommon, so try new gas first!

Also, throw some drygas in there, so if there is any water in the tank, it can burn it instead of it just sitting there.
