rough idle...

Just for the past few days I have been getting a little bit of a rough idle. Not too much, I don't think that anyone else would even notice it. Could this be because I have been using cheap gas?? I asked my guy at the dealership if using cheap gas was going to hurt anything, and he said no- as long as it wasn't spark knocking. No spark knock here. No check engine light either.

Well, I bought it with 46000 miles on it, and it now has 52k. The plugs have not been changed since I've owned it.

it could be gas related try a different brand and make sure you use 91 or better octane. if that doesnt resolve teh issue it may be a plug going bad or a slightly stuck egr or clogged egr ports
