My car was knocking and pinging something awful the other day.  I have been running 87 since the begining of the fall and had the windows down for the first time since then, the other day.  Its probably been doing that for a while now, but with thw windows up it was not noticed, other then a slight knock at idle with the hood up.  I went to the gas station and filled up with 93, and about 50% of the noise is gone.  I'm still changing bearings this weekend though, and I'll be sticking with 93 from now on also.

There is a HUGE difference between using 87 and 89. Not in performance, but
in spendable cash in your pocket. I used premium until Ron Porter mentioned
that 87 works. I switched to 87 and have had no issues in 7 years of SHO
ownership. I don't own one now.

Somehow gas prices seem to increase faster than my paychecks do.  Gas
in my town went up like $.20 in the past week or so, and it's driving
me crazy. Yesterday when i was at the pump i noticed that the
difference from regular (87) to mid grade (89) was $.10 a gallon as
normal, but the difference from mid (89) to premium (93) was $.14
instead of the normal $.10 a gallon. Any clues on why the variance?

Also, i know people have talked about this before, but i can't
remember the outcome.  Is there a noticeable difference between using
regular or mid grade and premium.  I've always put premium in my SHO,
but that's just because i was told to.  I know somebody in the past
said they ran regular and it ran fine, but i was wondering what other
people were using.  Sometimes when i go to the pump i get the urge to
save my self that little bit of money and pump the cheaper stuff.
