my TL broke down last night!

My car all of a sudden started bogging when i floored it from a light going into a turn and then shut off. I pulled into a wal mart close by rolling with no p/w steering like "WTF!". Then I played with it and it started fine. My gas gauge was at 3/8 of a tank which was fine. I pulled out of there and tried my trick with flooring it again, same bogging, kept running at idle around 1500 rpms put would not respond to the throttle at all anymore. I rolled for a while then it shut off on the darkest frekin road in my town, thought i was going to be mugged for sure being on a dark road, not busy at all, night, and me being 17. Well Would not start, as freaky as it looked it had the no gas symptoms so I had a friend bring me gas. Accidently told him the wrong road so I sat on the dark road for an hour and a half to he figured where i was headed and found me. Car started! I put about 10 gallons in and its still at the same spot? Guess I need to make an apointment, something seems messed up.

my car acts like that when I used Mobil gas, never that bad but somewhat the same.

I never used Mobil again and it's all good now without a trip to the dealer

Looks like your gas indicator needle is stuck. You probably ran out of gas and didn't even know it.

Never heard of gas being that cheep. That its so watered down it makes your car stall?

If your car stalled because you floored it, obviously something is wrong. Why would you try to floor it again?
