As the title says it all I have a 2010 Malibu LS with roughly 88k on it and just noticed that the CEL light came on last weekend. On Monday the light went ahead but it came back on this morning. Took it to Autozone and the error code was P0172, Fuel System Too Rich, Bank 1. I noticed this happened last weekend after putting in some gas at QT. The Autozone guy recommended some fuel injector cleaner as a starting point and recommended using pure gasoline (premium). Any thoughts on this?

Thanks

May or may not be your problem, but there is a TSB to check the alcohol content of the fuel with a Tech II scanner, reset it and reprogram the PCM with a new calibration. A dealer would need to do this.
