Question Hesitation Question

This occurred to me yesterday and I was kind of wondering if this has occurred to anyone else. While at a light, I crept up, passed a turning car without depressing the accelerator, I applied the breaks, and the Expedition hesitated and felt like it was flooded. This remained me of the old days with the VW bug, but I digress. Could this condition be caused by the quality of the gas? I have been using Costco gas since the price of gas in Arizona has been high and I have been saving $.20 per gallon.

It is a 2001 with 31,000 miles and I cleaned the MAFS about a month ago. Thanks for the reply

Is it a repeatable offence, if it is, take it back under warranty and let the dealer check it out.
