I suspect that if your car's computer is not adjusting or over adjusting for the better octane and causing the car to misfire.
My dad has a Ford that reacts the same way with the premium gas. I was in the habit of always running high test through the system to help clean things out. Apparently not all cars like that, belive it or not the Ford mechanic told my dad to pout no better than 89 octane into his car. He hasn't and its run fine for 5 years since.
Another thing to check is the gas cap. Make sure the rubber gasket is still on it and that it seats tightly. Newer cars are really finicky about vacuum loss and fuel pressure.
