Or, could it be a dirty air filter? I charged the KN filter and she seems to be more responsive....I also switched from 93 octane to 89....could this be the culprit?

It could also be a poor connection at one of the relays.

I've heard of people setting code 36's after getting a bit happy with the oil on the K+N.
A weak starting voltage can also set a code 36.

I had the same thing this winter, I unplugged and replugged the maf in and it has gone away.

It wouldnt be the gas, only air flows through the maf anyways
