I recently purchased a Nissan murano,about 2 days ago I put gas in it at quick stop store(regular unleaded). Since then it has been acting jerky at take off once the car is warm and it idles rough but when I drive it is normal. The first day I heard pinging too.The second day it is not as jerky if I ease into the gas at take off.Do I need to take it in? If so,what should I expect because I can't afford this...

Sounds like it might need a tune up or possibly an injector.Injectors will sometimes miss at idle but feel as though they are working when already moving. This could also explain the stumble when taking of from a light. Might even just be bad gas, did you fill the tank? If not try a full load of Chevron Super Unleaded
