CAR COUGHS/HESITATES WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 65-75 MPH. BEGAN DOING WHEN I MOVED TO ARIZONA. DID NOT DO IT IN FL USING REGULAR GRADE GAS. DEALER SAID MY FUEL FILTER WAS ALL CLOGGED AND DIRTY AND THE FUEL WAS GETTING DARK COLORED. SAID I NEED TO USE CHEVRON OR ARCO GAS AS THEY PUT A DETERGENT IN THEIR GAS THAT GMC IS RECOMMENDING FOR ALL THEIR CARS. DEALER CHANGED FUEL FILTERS AND AIR FILTER.
