Short Term Fuel Mix Too Weak? 850

I'm wondering if I just have some bad gas or water in my fuel tank. My service engine light came on a couple of weeks ago and I've had two stalls in the past week. The code read as a 1-1-3 "Short Term Fuel Mix Too Weak". The electrical side was fine for a change - go figure.

In each case the stalls happened while slowing down to a stop. The car easily restarted. The stall occurred only on wet days - in between all the freezing days we've had. I finally got to checking and clearing the code today and took it for a test drive. Everything seems fine and the service engine light did not come back on. I generally use my car for short hops to the train station and I'm wondering if it's just not getting run enough.

As always any thoughts and suggestions are appreciated...
