Default Very Stressful Drive Home Today

We left Ohio this morning at 5:30 AM and headed south ,stopped a couple hours into the trip for a bite to eat and topped the tank just to keep from stopping again. Went on south for a little bit and noticed the vert was skipping a little but and got progressively worse with sputtering and occaisional small backfiring .I thought I knew what the problem was as it had happened before in Mississippi so I kept going until I was about a half tank of gas down and stopped and filled up with premium gas with a bottle of gas treatment and continued on. I did this every time I got down to half a tank of gas all the way to Knoxville but the old girl was not happy but was better with every fill up. By the time we got to the Georgia line she was pretty happy again with very minor sputtering but now Im going to give her a tune up ,she just dont like watery gas or whatever it was I got for gas .I wasnt sure in the beginning that we were going to make it home but we finally got here with frayed nerves .We arrived home at 4 PM which was actually pretty good time wise considering all the extra stops I made and all the lane rangers in the fast lane that would not put their foot on the gas. We had a great time other than that watery gas issue . By the way ,I think there is a special place in HELL for slow driving people in the left lane.
