Is Poor Fuel Quality in Pakistan Causing My Engine to Sputter?

Ive noticed inconsistent engine performance and sputtering after refueling at certain stations. Could contaminated o r low-octane petrol in Pakistan be causing misfires o r spark plug fouling in my Kia Carnival? What are the symptoms of bad fuel, and how can I minimize this risk?
