Okay, I know it sounds wierd, but mine was doing this, although I didn't
make a gas quality connection, but it just got worse and worse until the
car would actually stop running for a time.  It was an electrical
problem in the fuel pump.  I know it's not the least expensive part in
the world but you might give it a try.  Good luck.
