No problem at all! A lot of times those small mom and pop type stations use a different type of gas mixture. Current cars and some older cars like Alero's are only designed to run on a mixture of up to 10% ethanol. No ethanol is ideal, but up to 10% won't hurt most modern cars. Unless you have a FlexFuel car or a car tuned to run specifically on E85. Then you can go more than 10%. So if for whatever reason that particular station was using more than a 10% ethanol mix in their pumps that right there could be the culprit.
