I really doubt that it would be the gas itself.
does it smoke?

Fuel filter perhaps. When you gas it up, you're stirring up all the crap in the tank. You may go through a few fuel filters.

A bit more info would be great. Did it start all of a sudden? Some days better than others? Have you replaced fuel filter? etc?
