Might be a bad batch - hard to tell though.

Is this a manual or auto?

If manual then your clutch would most likely be slipping, usually occurs in the higher gears.

i have never got bad fuel from Asquith...

but i never go just after the tanker has filled up either...

maybe it is your imagination, or the weather, or a sensor is unplugged/loose or your clogged air filter, or your clogged fuel filter, or your dirty spark plugs or old oil or or or or ...

or maybe you over-reved on the OP?

who knows...

one more chance

usually due to misfiring but can be because your injectors may need to be examined. either that or a really, really bad batch of fuel...but highly unlikely. run the fuel through, and if it happens to your next fill-up, get your injector flow-tested and cleaned

its very unlikely to be your injectors... i recon check / replace your plugs first.... and also check your ignition timing and basic tuning.
