Default My car fells sluggish

Maybe its just me...my car just came out of a two-month storage...and today I drove it to work..and for some reason it feels so sluggish and weird. i didn't pick up the way I wanted to...but I guess I'll drive it around for awhile and warm things up..what do you guys think?

Yeah could definitely be the gas has gotten nasty. Did you put anything into the gas for storage before you left it for a couple of months? If not probably got some good sludge in there.

were you driving a car with more tq during the winter?
fill up the tank with some new gas and go for a drive. Nothing on your car was changed over the winter right?
