330xi leaking fuel injectors

Recently experiencing hard start problem. Car runs for about an our, sits for 20 to 30 minutes, long cranking, hard start as if it is flooded. Hit the accelraotor and it starts. Went to local dealer, they stated "leaking fuel injectors", replaced them and it hasn't corrected problem. Went back to the dealer, they tell me that the problem is bad gas. Have used 91 octane from Sam's club, and have for about a year and this is the first problem I have had. Use the same fuel in my Aviator for 3 years, no problems.
Dealer tells me that I need to replace injectors and use "Top Tier" fuel. Sounds like BS to me, Comments? Suggsestions, course of action? Help?

Check for any vacuum leaks first with some carb cleaner (do not use brake cleaner!)
