Engine Performance problem
1990 Nissan 300ZX 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 115000 miles

I have a 1990 300zx with 115000 miles. Just recently my car started to loose power and started bogging. I filled it up with 94 octaine for the first time in a long while. When i first get into my car and start it, it drives great for the first 5 min down the road then it randomly starts bogging down expessially in low rpm's and relly hesitats when getting on the gas. When i get out of the car it smells like pure gas. Could it be my fuel injectors? or the different octaine? oxegen sensor? Please help!

Thanks, Cameron
