yeah dude what are you thinking?
Another thing that may have caused it is if you leave the gas cap off or accidentally don't close it firmly enough. But that'll go away in a couple of days. Why not take it in. And don't tell them you put bad gas in there.

why not go and get that horrible petrol drained out of your tank ... they should charge you no more than 250$ ... and theyll diagnose your engine 
as for me i always fill with 95Ron ... which is the recommended for the engine

I took it in but did tell the service tech what I did. Said it is most likely telling me that the knock sensors are kicking in and detuning the engine to accomodate.
I went out and filled the tank with 94, hopefully it'll dissappear as I burn through.
I know, I know, it was a no-no but it was either that or push my car home that day!
