Default to lean

well today i went to a gas station that i have never gone to befor and put in a tank of gas. about 20 miles later my service engine soon light came on so i took it to autozone and had them pull the codes and it came up with system to lean in bank 1 and 2. it was a friend at autozone that puled the codes for me and he told me to put my original maf back on to see if it would fix it otherwise he was thinking maybe the fuel pump was going out. i came home put the original maf on disconected the batery so it would reset and it is still throwing the light. so im wondering if maybe i got some bad gas or what it could be. the gas was from bp 92 oct. clould somebody please help me or let me konw what else it could be.

if your car was tuned at 93 octane you shouldn't run anything below it. i did, ran 92 once and screwed my spark plugs. anyone ever had that happen?
