I doubt that changing the fuel would have the effect that you describe; it's more likely a mechanical fault that has developed. I would have your mechanic check the engine sensors and clean the throttle body.
Check the PCV valve, if it’s leaking it could cause a weakness at idle that would result in the stalling you speak of.
YOU'VE tried all the obvious places, but you might also try the grey importers who deal in Supras and the like. I'd grab one at the dealer you say has them available.
I assume the VH Commodore is a six, which was a new updated XT6 version of the venerable pushrod Holden six. While it was improved over the previous versions of the engine it was still quite inefficient even by 1982 standards. The Trimatic three-speed should have plenty of life left in it, but check the oil and make sure it's nice and red. Also make sure the shifts are smooth and precise with no sign of flaring on part or full throttle. Check the body for rust, particularly in the lower sections of the front guards, the lower sections of the doors, around the rear side windows and around the tail gate and rear window. The Camry has lots of life left in it, but it is near the mileage where major servicing could be needed. The Camry is most likely to be in better condition overall than the Commodore, which can be expected to be riddled with squeaks and rattles in the body.
