This is probably the BEST piece of advice in this entire thread. Many people don't realize that GAS companies actually change the formular of their fuels for winter. They use an anti-gelling additive and sometimes the fuel can get a small amount of water in it. EVERY winter, my friends car runs like ***.. and year after year... a bottle of dry-gas fixes his problems!

Do autoparts stores carry this dry gas stuff? It did happen literally 1/4 mile after putting gas in my tank, but I didn't hit the gas in fifth gear at all going to school cause I was running on fumes, so I don't know if it pinged then. It's amazing how cold weather can bring out a cars problems.
