Message OK, the car pulled fine on the way home from school today, pulled fine on the way to the gas station, after filling up my tank (11.5) gallons at the same place I get gas every time, I hop onto the freeway. To my complete and utter horror, the car wouldnt pull much in 4th gear, so I downshifted and it felt like it was barely boosting!!! WTF I'm thinking, this cant be happening, I put the car in 4th gear at 60-65mph and floored it, and it would barely accelerate, the stock boost gauge looks normal, moves up to boost etc, I can hear the turbos whine if it makes a difference, but the car will hardly pull! Could this be the works of bad gas? Do I need to run out my tank and refill it? I hope so....I searched and found some situations talking about the crank angle sensor etc...but I am hoping bad gas.....any thoughts???
