I don't believe in higher gas price = better gas.
Having said that we have no real means of measuring it and just rely on what we are being told. Too much drama for just filling up a tank! So for me I go to Sam's club because I have a membership there. Never had any issues with my cars until this day.
Back on topic when I first read OP's post I immediately thought misfire which was confirmed with the fault code. Now the timing of the issue let us think it is probably due to bad gas. I would just normally troubleshoot the matter by starting there. Meaning empty the tank and refill at another gas station. See if the issue comes back. The next step would be to check your plugs and coils particularly cylinder one since this is the one misfiring. And so ... until you pin point the culprit. GL
When you say CEL is gone do you mean you deleted the code? Code will still be stored and come back if the problem is not fixed.

I read that article long before you posted it here, and as for "feelings", I ain't Barry Manilow.

These are just a few examples. There are many more, all you have to do is "use the googles".

No source for actual data. Could be some co-op student who wrote the article in his mom's basement...
Feel free to post more useless links to back up your claim.

As for the rest of your drivel regarding the links I cited, they back up everything I've said.

Aaaaaaaaand more verbal diarrhea.
Did you read that article from AAA yet? It's one of the reasons why I laughed at your first useless post in this thread.
Where are you gathering your information from btw? Any credible sources you care to share? So far you've just been repeating gibberish...

I have acknowledged that Top Tier gas is best. I have noted that other than Top Tier gas can absolutely provide equal performance and engine cleaning abilities. And lastly, I've said subpar gas can lead to reduced performance and engine longevity.
See any contradictions there? I don't.

What do you think happens when mpg decreases while all other external conditions are unchanged (driving style, location, etc)?
Maybe not, but it's happening. Timing is pulled because of the fuel which is the whole point of this conversation.
You mean your old crusty link from 2012? Cool. 
And even if there were a drop in HP, what makes you certain you'd be able to tell the difference? Can you tell the difference between 500 HP and 475 HP? I'll bet you can't. You remind of the guys on the CTS-V forums that would swear they could tell that their cars picked up HP with a CAI even though, at best, the CAI was only good for about an 8 HP bump.

All because someone got a bad tank of Costco gas and had a misfire.
Imagine what will happen when someone posts of uneven tire wear with 1 tire being 1psi off. Something something nitrogen vs. oxygen something something temperature something something snowflakes and butterflies.
OP -- You run through that tank yet? Everything sort itself out?
