2002 ML320 Help Bad Gas!

Ok, so I went to the gas station 4 days ago and put 93 (highest octane) gas in. Half a tank. I drove 140 miles, and by the 138th mile the engine felt like it was chugging. I went to Auto Zone and put a bottle of Lucas Fuel Treatment
http://www.lucasoil.com/products/dis...tid=2&loc=show

I put it in when I was almost completely out of gas, and put in about a half a tank of "good" gas from Mobil. I drove about 40 miles, and it chugged for a while and then got a little bit better. Then drove 140 miles again still not back to normal, and put in another half tank of Mobil Highest Octane. ALthough its better, I am still not to where it was before. So, I am wondering, should I do the Fuel Treatment again, or is there a better fuel treatment, or just keep putting Mobil gas in ..... and how long does it take to clean out?

Arrrgh... Is there anyway to prove the first gas station gave me bad gas and all these headaches to get some sort of compensation?

Fuel treatment won't cut it. Dry gas will.

Google the words "dry gas" and find out what it is. At any automotive store, Walmart, any gas station, etc.
