Bad gas?

Anyone have any problems with bad gas? My car suddenly developed power issues after a fill-up of premium gas. The car bogs down when the A/C is on, loses power on hills. If feels like someone is lightly applying the brakes at times. It is nothing extreme like the EC issue, just a sense that power has been reduced about 25%. Took it to the dealer and they couldn't sense the problem (typical), but they suggested it might have been bad gas. I have always used 93 or a couple of times 91 when 93 is not available. So far I have used one tank of Shell 93 to see if the problem might clear.
