That's been my experience as well. I just returned from a 4500-mile road-trip family vacation in my wife's Altima. Somewhere about the 1000 mile mark we apparently picked up some bad gas.
At first I thought the CRV (or whatever it's called) transmission was going. A very bad feeling in a very sparsely populated mountainous area far from home. She feared it was a problem with the plugs or ignition coils that she had replaced a few months earlier as the car's behavior was similar.
We eventually figured out that it was likely bad gas. The problem gradually improved as we continued our trip, and we had no issues on our final day (yesterday).
