seems like stupid question, but Topeka sure as heck didn't have any 93.

I'll run whatever Danny Popp says is okay.... If I have to cart 10-15 gallons of 93 into Denver I'm not going to complain. I'll save enough money to repay the cost of the fuel containers with just a few trips through Ohio. I just wanted to be prepared for the NT/Pro Solo.

How often you you ever get knocking in modern engines? they all have knock sensors and retard the timing appropriately.

The news story is what happens when you have reporters talking to marketeers and not engineers. Misinformation is what alot of the news contains and the rest of the news is propaganda.

Correct, but if the knock sensors are causing your timing to be retarded, you're loosing power. You would need a scan tool to know if you have knock retard or not.
