Default Sudden Engine Misfire

I needed to get gas the other day, and went to one of those off brand stations. I put in 93 octane, and everything seemed fine till yesterday. The car was OK going to work, I parked it and went about my business. When work was over, I got in and started the car up, and it started to run very rough, you could feel the engine rocking back and forth just sitting in neutral. Putting it in gear, the engine had no power, not the usual thing I experienced with the 2003 Turbo with the stage 1 upgrade. It just bucked and had no power at all. The car had a little over a quarter of a tank of gas left, so I went and got some name brand gas in it, but driving the car today, the problem did not go away. I put in some injector cleaner today, but it is too soon to tell if it is helping. I also changed the plugs, and the number one plug looked fouled and wet.
I would appreciate any help anyone can give me as I need the car and can not afford to have it laid up in the service dept.
Thanks....
