If you hear any, go back to premium. If not, thry the >regular(R+M/2=87) grade and listen for pinging again. This raises another question....the mid-grade and high-grade gasolines, i.e. R+M/2=89, 92 (at least here in Nebraska), are generally 10% ethanol. My owners manual says to steer clear of alcohol blends. Why? Pat ____________________________________ Patrick L.
