octane is measured differently in Europe. 98 in Europe is something like 93 in US. Higher octane does make gas harder to ignite, so it is possible I guess that too high octane could make it run poorly but it seems unlikely (it'd be common to have problems running too low octane). did you put leaded gas in?

(since 911 Euro's are quite highly tuned). How empty was your car upon filling? If you were almost empty you may have stirred up the debris that resides in all tanks after a number of years. If you didn't push the limits of the tank, I'm thinking that either you've picked up bad gas or the problem is unrelated. Cheers
