If it were ME, I'd fire my wife! Oh, wait, I did that, already, 15 years ago! 15 years of payments for some cooch I cudn't tap NEmore, but it was WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! OK, what was your problem again?
Oh yeah, the gas thing. I'd say go with several tanksfull (like run it down til the light comes on, THEN fill it back up) of premium WITH a can of octane booster, each time. 3-4 tanks full and you should be rid of any effects it may have caused. I don't think you should bother with siphoning the tank. Modern ECM's can adjust to the occassional abbhorent tankful.
And, spank your wife! You'll BOTH get something out of it
