Fuel question
Do any of you experience hesitation when accelerating when using fuel from certain vendors? I use the octane level recommended by my local dealership (89), but the last time I filled up, I went to a Speedway (Super America.) The dealership told me to never do this again and to always go to Shell, Chevron, etc. Any thoughts? I typically only get the hesitation when the engine is cold and usually in the range between first and second gears.

Possibly some water was in the fuel and caused the hesitation, but should be fine when you run this tank out.
