bad gas?

like 2 week ago or so we got some snow so i covered my car everything was cool then it snowed and the car sat for about 9 days or so when i finally got around to uncovering it i let my dad drive it to the gas station where i put a half a tank in, the next day when i finally drove it, the car felt like its not pulling the same as it usual does, so does this sound like its the gas?

it could be. if ur dad put in low octane, then the ecu might have retarded the timing. someone else should pitch in on this one.

Did you put regular instead of premium? If so, then your car is knocking and there's your answer why it doesn't pull And if that's the case, stay off the boost, get that tank out of "your system" and get some real gas
