Is it the gas?

I posted awhile ago that I was having extreme hesitation when I tried to take off with my car. At times it would even seem to pop before it took off lke a rocket. I then put some Sunoco 94 octane and the problem seems to have disappeared. Previously I was using Mobil 93 octane. I have since reverted back to it. Any thoughts on this?

In the winter you should add some water remover additive. It can make a big difference when it comes to cold starts, and idle. Sure the quality of the gas can vary from gas station to station, some keep up with there filters other do not, just as some can contain more water than others.

I was just recently having trouble with cold starts, so I added some water remover and problem solved....
You can use water remover at every fill up if you like.
