Default car cutting out

My car was running fine until the other day i filled it up with gas, than i went for a ride and got on it and at about 4k rpm it started to cut out real bad, and now it cuts out sometimes just when i'm driving, does anyone know what could be wrong

Have you gone through that tank of gas yet? You may have got a bad batch.

Diesel pumps actually have a different (Larger) size output as well, so unless you really try it's supposed to be hard to get diesel fuel into your car. As far as your problem cutting out, it could be that you got a bad batch of gas, but if you get through this one and it's still doing the same thing, you may be seeing an opti issue.

Sounds like bad gas. Some cheap places add small amounts of water to their gas to make it cheaper. Or if you accidentally put E-85 in or something. Pray your plugs didnt go out.
