To diagnose, can ya say if anything changed? Recent fill up? Just swapped out some parts? Hit a big puddle?
Can you do a stomp test? What year? What motor?

We know this though... Regardless.... 90+ octane is a smart move....

Need more info mate..Has this been the issue since you have owned the car? or did you do something and then after that it started?
options and potential things to check based on your descriptiong include,
-google stomp test, perform it, let us know results.
-Incorrect ignition timing, though thinking again I don't think you can actually change it.
-Fuel filter blocked (have you ever changed it?)
-Catalytic convertor callapsed or exhaust blocked?
-Is the auto playing up? does it have enough fluid?
-Is the hand brake or brakes stuck on?
-Can you hear the engine ping or detonating?
-When was the last time you adjusted the valves?
-Is the air filter clogged? (unlikely cause, but possible if VERY bad)
-Are you actually getting ignition break down?
-Have you ever changed or checked the condition of your spark plugs or distributor cap?
-Have you actually done any checks on your mass air flow meter before blindly buying a new one?
-What is the fuel economy like? is it running very rich?
-Forget the fuel type comments.

It's an automatic, so first thing is to check transmission fluid. Could be low or burnt, burnt means you're looking for a rebuild or should be planning a 5 spd swap.
