referral in SLC area

I have a 95 GM suburban that sputters with any gas but Chevron Premium. As you probably know, this is currently > $3.60/gallon. I've tried other brands, even premium and the thing runs like crap, no pickup and sputtering on hills. I have added octane boosters, they help with premium gas from costco and other stations, but only Chevron premium runs virgin. Don't even think about something other than premium...

So, any diagnosis of what may be the problem and any referrals for a decent mechanic in the Salt Lake area that I can trust to check it out further?

Thanks in advance...

Tips on finding a good repair shop.Check around Ask around
Word of mouth.
Family friends coworkers neighbors business people and delivery people.
Mailmen and parcel delivery people get around and notice a lot of stuff.
Even a good parts house knows what shops are good and not good.
Chamber of commerce and better business bureau and city hall.
If you find a good referral to a repair shop go look them over and talk to them.
Look for a clean looking busy place with nice people running it.
Ask a few questions and ask about their qualifications and training.
Not all places have trained tech/mechanics.
If they do not find a place that does.
Even all dealers do not have all trained techs/mechanics.
