Ok all this week, that fuel i bought has lasted me til today, i Put some more gas from a cheveron in Palos Verdes and after a quick drive on the freeway to Downtown Los Angeles Porsche to get the new fuel filter the car no longer shows symtoms and the power is back!!! The service tech says theres a good chance i got some bad gas and that it happens sometimes.

Something could have happened at the station, my pump i used has another pump on the other side of it for other customers and it was ripped off and a tech was there replacing it and told me that this happens all the time at this station so maybe this may have something to do with my car acting up.

Ill replace my filter anyway since it has 99k miles on it.
