Bad Gas Cause VSA, TCS, ABS, and SH-AWD light?

Hey guys,

So heres the story, i went to shell to get gas, i normally goto mobile but today i decided to goto shell and when i was filling the gas smelled very different and weird. (i sniff gasoline lol jk) and while filling it sounded different than normal as well. i was already worried. after driving 50 miles, vsa, tcs, abs, and sh-awd lights goes off like crazy.
can bad gas cause this? or am i just over thinking it!!!!
my car also just hit 69,990 when the lights gone off (service lights is not very likely) but just wanted to added that in.

any help or information is verry appreciated!!!!

SHELL IS the worst gas you could buy!! i would tow my car than to put that junk in any car i have or lawn mower.
And no it is not the same gas that the race teams use there Shell gas is over seas gas not from north America.

i have 91k miles. and hasnt happened to me. i always use shell gas premium. just because i have the giant card, i sometimes get free gas. knock on wood this doesn't happen to me. my advisor from acura has an rl and uses shell for all his cars, even his mdx.

question are you using premium?

When I hear electrical weirdness on an RL, I recall the words of smarter posters than me: Check the battery.
