Were you using 91 previously or 93?

Ethanol in the fuel can bond with water at a ratio at up to 10%, so with 10% ethanol in the fuel you can end up with 1% water by volume. Seems unlikely if the fuel was being sold quickly but anything is possible.

The other thing that is possible given the situation is that it was actually 87 or 89 octane gas. When you are nearly empty get some fresh fuel elsewhere and reset the CEL and see how it goes.
