having a problem

So a few days ago I had to fill my gas tank up. Now the day before I filled up I made a few pulls 1 thru 4 no problem after the fill up I noticed in 3rd and 4th at around 6800 rpm a lot of sputtering like I hit my rev limiter kicked in. I took it up one more time in 3rd it happened again so I am thinking maybe bad fuel or not enough fuel. Anyone have any ideas. Thx

Is the car still sputtering now that you have added fuel?

Definitly bad gas, I just bought my evo and it had regular unleaded in it from 1+ years ago. I ran a full can of seafoam through it and pretty much just wasted the gas in it. It was sputtering a lot at higher RPM's and after I filled it back up with super it drives with no hesitation or sputtering.
