Default 2002 Acura Rsx won't start!!

Ok I'm a girl so I kinda need some help!
I bought a Acura Rsx-S its kinda a long story but anyway I bought the car I didn't know it took 93 so I put 87 in it got in it the next day i go to crank it and it wonldnt start and the check engine light came on so it finally started after 5 min so drove it to the auto part store they hooked the test machine to it and it came back with misfire 1, 4 and a random misfire so figured it was bad gas so bought gas treatment! Next day after that got in my car it wouldn't crank at all it turns over acts like it wants to start but spits and sputters and won't crank that hole day! Went to take it to the mechanic the next day got in it and it crank up fine no problem not even a sputter when the car is running it runs PERFECT! So I took it to the mechanic anyway he said it was misfiring but it wasn't showing up enough to even tell him what was wrong so he figured it was the bad gas and told me to drive it out! It crank up fine the next day drove it all day no problem but drove it like 30 miles and now it won't crank again!! It's only when I drive it for a long period of time! It just spits and sputters and won't crank any ideas?! And since i got it back from the mechanic the engine light its off!! Like I said when it is running it runs like a champ!

What does being a girl have anything to do with this? So your telling me if I'm having troubles washing machine I should blame it on being a man? lol j/k I grew up with three sisters and raised by my mom... so i've heard nothing but being a strong woman bla bla bla


Anyways as for as your car definitely bad if you put cheap gas in it and then beat on it. So hopefully you didn't really do that. I built an engine one time and the kid put in cheap gas and blew it up... My first piece of advice is to pull out your spark plugs and check their condition. The tips will tell you everything about how your car is running. Then put new plugs in
