Can loss of boost be caused by different brand gas?
I usually put in Mobil 93 octane, but I was almost out of gas the other day so I had to stop at a Sunoco, I put in 93 but ever since then I feel like my car doesn't have as much boost and doesn't feel as fast. Is this at all possible?

Bad gas can cause a loss of performance. Back in the day, Sunoco 260 was the balm,
but I haven't seen a station in years.
Old gas and gas with water in it can be problematic, but boost loss seems unlikely based on my limited knowledge. I was a mechanic in my youth, picked stuff up here and there, but the new stuff is new to me.
Try some water remover and see if it helps.
