There had to be something else going on there, water in the lower octane gas? ...something? Just changing to a higher grade was not the only factor there.
Back to the original poster....I am still going to bet on timing. There is either a problem with the distributor itself, or the timing is way off.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....
The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
