Not sure what a paddle is in this context but anyway, could be a dodgy batch of petrol. As long as it's not pinging you'll just have to go through it. Make sure you run the tank right down before you refill next time.

When I was in UAE over a year ago I remember them having "potently good andstrong"smelling gas. Thought I was gonna hallucinate down the road.I didn't catch the octane ratings but I think they're similar to ours.

i did put the right gas but this time i felt the throttle lag. i step on it and the car responds after 3 seconds approximatly. anyway it reacts a bit better now but still i feel something is wrong
