Actually I am sure the problem is NOT related to this specific fuel up. If
there is a fuel issue, as a number of you are suggesting, it must be from
the impact of driving through heavy rains in the last few days. I even saw a
post suggesting that rain water can find its way into the tank if the seals
are old, which mine are. The idle at start up has been deteriorating last
few days.

When running problems appear suddenly after a fuel fill, you have to
consider that maybe you got a batch of dirty or watery fuel.  I think
this is uncommon these days, but it can happen.
