You led yourself to believe something. That is where fact becomes disregarded and it becomes a belief.

There may be other explanations for your experience that have a factual basis other than belief. Think about it.
I have thought about it. There was only one difference between when it started stalling and when the issue stopped, with gas that was at least 3 months old in the tank the car stalled when it cam to a full stop when that gas was gone and I refueled the problem stopped and I have tried unsuccessfully to replicate the stalling problem I was having on the current tank of gas.

I haven't done anything else to try to fix the problem and there has been no change in driving habits. I was always taught that to find the answer to a problem that you have to look at it logically, so logically if I've made no changes other than the gas in my cars tank the only problem could have been the gas. Now I will say that the tank of gas still was winter gas so could that have been part of the issue? I don't know.

I fully understand what truth and fact mean but I also know what fluke and exception to the rule mean. So I'm not saying that you were wrong or that what you were saying wasn't a fact or true I'm just saying that in my experience that what you said wasn't the case. I'm not arguing just relating my own personal experience so don't take this the wrong way as I mean no offense.
