I bought a car, I put it low octane gas by mistake and my engine light became on everytime.Besides i noticed even before when i put low octane gas that
sometimes while driving suddenly car loses power and starts little slow down if i accelerate more it gains power but feel like something push it back and then it becames stable again and when i put on neatral while driving my rpm becomes so low ,or even jumping low -high almost shuting off engine and then became stable,but when a car parked idling is stable.When i put after high octane gas ,infew miles my engine light went off and stayed that way a while . I drove about 20 miles for commute and suddenly while driving engine light became on againg and now it still on.What is a problem in car and what shall i do to fix it and how mush it will cost?

Check the gas cap and make sure it on and tight
low octane fuel will not cause any of what u are having
need to have it scanned for codes and let me know what your codes are
is it due for a tune up you may also want to check that
