Default what would all the sudden make my car run like crap?

i was driving back to tucson from san diego to go back to school the other day. about 300 miles into my drive i pulled off in arizona to get some gas. as soon as i filled up and got back on the freeway the car started to feel like crap. it doesnt pull as hard , doesnt seems to make boost as fast and just feels sluggish. i checked most of the charge pipes and they all seems to be in order, im gonna jack the car up today and take each one off to make sure. but what else could be causing this? i checked the compression and it came back fine.

is it possible that you might have put in the wrong octane of gas?

i was thinking this might be it. hopefully it is. im pretty sure i didnt but it was a hole in the wall no name gas station. maybe ill go throw some 100 octane in it and see if that perks it up.

Sounds like some watery gas to me, same thing happened in my Jeep a couple years ago.
