Put gas in at a station I don't normally use. Later that night the van started "popping" in the throttlebody, preignition, right? Put a combination gas dryer/system cleaner in 3/4 full tank. Have driven just over 100 miles. Have not seen improvement. No problems prior to putting in the gas. Wait longer or is something else the problem?.
