Did you put in 91+ octane fuel? I've only done 91 (highest I can find reliably) so I don't know if you feel it with lower fuel.



I second the suggestion to turn off VDC....


...but do so in a controlled environment and see how the car changes its behavior. Just speaking from experience. Be safe!

This is big, I run my car down to just above 1/4 and fill it up, sooooo slow but need gas to move.
