Sorry for the off-topic post, but it is not often that you find a mercedes enthusiast that is also a paisan...
By the way, I just had this happen to me on our 86' 300E, I took the idle valve out and cleaned it with carburator cleaner (it was a bit dirty). That fixed it for a day, now I am thinking it could be the overvoltage protection relay, which was a source for the same problem a while back. Hope this helps...

I concur with the previous post. Was the gas station where you filled up your normal gas station or was a first time visit (infrequent visit) to that station? If it is your normal station that you filled up at has the management or ownership changed as of late?
You may want to call the station and ask if they have had any other complaints concerning the gasoline sold there as of late. Also, if part of chain, do not hesitate to call Customer Service of the name brand to inquire or complain. Here in Guatemala, about 8 months ago Shell distribuited to many of the franchises a bad batch of VPower that caused the exact same symptoms that you describe. Those taht complained, supposably received a full refund from Shell.
