Answer
Alex,
You definitely want to use premium gasoline for this car. A fuel injector cleaner will also help.  If the problem continues, replace the air filter, fuel filter, PCV valve and carefully clean the throttle body and EGR valve.  If it's been a while since a full engine/transmission fluid change has been done, do so.  For your particular car, that include engine oil, tranmission fluid, transfer case fluid, and rear differential fluid.  

For future reference, if it's been around 60,000 miles since the timing belt has been changed, I highly recommend you do so.
Good luck!
