This is very possible. Even without turbo, my car runs its best on Chevron's
mid grade gas.

FWIW, I found the quality of gas (especialy on the
ride home) was awful.

The twin turbo requires High-grade to run correctly
under boost.. however, when I know I will burn the
whole tank on the highway I tend to put regular in to
save a few pennies.

On the way home, the gas was so awful I could not put
my foot in to it to get any boost without knocking. 
My last fill up in Maryland I put in about 6 gallons
of Sunoco 94.  It ran much better the rest of the
trip.

I gave a short ride to Mark and Chris from the UK on
the way home, and was embarrased.  Had I known I was
trying to impress, I would have put the higher grade
of gasoline in!

My point is, maybe the gas was just bad?
