tonight when i left work...  i took my car for a little ride... haven't done so in a long time... when i came out of work my car was covered with condensation because of the big change in temp from hot in the day cold at night... i went down the beach and when i was keeping it at 40, 45 mph it kept like... letting off or something.  like the car was running out of gas or something.   i have half a tank.. maybe i got bad gas or condensation got into my tank or something... any ideas?

have you changed your fuel filter in the past 10 or 15 thousand miles (i forgot the interval) that's what my car felt like before i changed the fuel filter. if it's not your filter for sure, try getting gas at another station or get fuel injector cleaner. or if it's bad gas, get octane booster.
