Car not running right?
Well a few weeks ago i was driving and my car started running funny like i was starving for gas around 2-3 grand i would lose power anything under 2 grand would be find and anything over 3 was good too. I had a little under 1/4 tank of gas so i filled up and i still ran like crap. about 10 mins of driving like this i called my dad that works in a shop, he ran gas treatment, injector cleaner or some **** that he sprayed in to the itake that cleaned the throtle body. It ran fine!! today the same **** happned i have be running 93 octane and i had still 1/4 tank of gas?? is it the gas at the bottom of the tank or what?

Just for good measure:
Check your sparkplugs, just because they could be really old.
Next as nupe said, replace the fuel filter. In your case I would probably fill the car up, drive it for 10miles or more then replace the filter and go for another small drive and see how everything is.
you could also take off your throttle body and clean it if you feel like it.
And Dave, take note of this, because if this ever happens to your car and you make a thread, I sure as hell am going to post the most useless reply you will ever see.
