call or go back to gas station and complain, see if anyone else complained.
could be bad gas. I'm always paranoid to get gas when it's been raining a lot.
good luck shawn.

The room usually smells pretty bad and your stomach feels weird 
Try putting some of that stuff in your tank - I forget what it is called but they use it to get rid of water in gas. I can't for the life of me remember what it is called.
But yes, you will start running real bad and it usually throws codes for cylinder problems.

What could have happened is that you got the gas near the 'bottom of the barrel' so to speak at the gas station, god knows what is down there besides water and if that gets into the vehicle, you can get issues. I would also use a little fuel injection cleaner, like a bottle of techron or a restore fuel injection cleaner.
