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.

You admit you don't know, in which case there could be another reason (or reasons) why the problem occurred. It could have been bad gas - but bad gas is not specifically due to gas being three months old. In other words, it may have been bad for some other reason
regardless of it being three months old.
As I said, I've had gas that is
much older than that, and I still do, and it has never caused any problem. So you can't be certain that the conclusion you drew is the correct explanation.
