Spiking tach followed by actual misses

I filled up that nite. Sunoco 93. I use the same station every time I put gas in the car. Never had an issue. The chances of getting bad gas in todays day is very slim. I have seen MAYBE 2 cars in my years as a tech that had a bad gas issue.

Reason Im thinkin oil pack, is because TACH was acting funny before it had the slight miss. The Tach is driven off the trailing coil.

true. Unfortunatly it's been my personal experience that bad gas has hit my car mulitple times from trusted locations. But if your getting symptoms from your tach prior to any real symptoms present itself it very well could be the pack or any of the wires leading to it. Are you throwing any CELS?
