"Never buy a recalled car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

My 2000 Mercury Cougar has let me down. Today the car kept getting weak on me, trying to die at stop lights. It was running just fine until yesterday when I put some gas in. I normally run 89 at BP gas station (this is recommended), but it will not run properly with 89 so I use 91 and it runs good, but this time it caused weakness in the idle.

This morning when I started the car to go to work, the car was very weak idling. Twice the car died on me today. I asked Autozone what could be the problem. They advised me to try "Heet". I also spoke to a mechanic who stated that the problem could be bad gas, catalytic converter, or MAF Sensor. This is the first time the car has ever done this - can anyone tell me WHAT IS GOING ON??

General comments?

Come on! The car has 170000 miles on it and rough idle is the only complaint you have?

Give it a tune up and quit complaining.
