Yea, you're probably right, although I've been driving this way for over two years now and only recently began to have this problem.
As someone here pointed out, I'm wondering if gas/ethenal may be to blame.
I've been getting most of the gas at Sam's Club.
I may try other brands to see the results.
Thanks for all the responses
Joe
