Yeah, I had this stuff in two cars simultaneously. Good thing too or I
would have been convinced that something was seriously wrong. Both
cars suffered from the exact same symtoms; hard starting; wouldn't idle;
hesitated on acceleration. Since one car only had about 7k miles on it,
I got suspicious. Sure enough, a day or two later a local newscaster
announced that several BP stations in the Bay Area (including the one in
Santa Clara I USED to buy gas from) had gotten shipments of bad gas.
