It may not be true for everyone but my car had the same gas for about 3 months and had started stalling when it was stopped. However as soon as I refueled the problem stopped and I've had no issues since. The only difference is the gas I haven't done anything else to try to fix the problem so that leads me to believe that the problem was old gas.
