A bad gas cap seal will NOT cause the engine to stall, but it will turn on your CEL. Replace it.
Bad gas may have enough water/dirt to cause your engine to stall but seldom while driving on the highway. Mine died last week while running out of gas when the computer said that I still had 15 miles to go. I assumed that there was ice in the bottom of the tank which caused the float to misread the level of gasoline. I got a few miss fires, LOL. Good thing there was a pump I could coast into at the corner :)
You misfires could be caused by a number of reasons. Check the oneway valve for the charcoal cannister vacuum line to the intake manifold. Check or replace the fuel filter, cheap fix. Pull the plugs and check the electrodes for wear (rounding).
