Question I FIXED ISSUE code reader p2188 2006 c280 4matic

i bought a code reader after my check engine light came on. it says p2188
( system to rich @ idle bank 1 and 2) well needless to say the code reader company does not have a answer.
so pleading for help. dont want to drive till i figuar it out and fix.

here is a list of things i have recently have done to car.
i put approx 4gl of gas in from a new service station. now have a 1/4 of tank
then before that i changed the oil and air filters. i used for oil MANN-FILTER HU718/4X and i got a mann air filter came with 2 and replaced.

i drove it about 60miles before the light came on.
