"The engine is not knocking, yet I fear that since it's designed for 92
octane,
the engine's OBD II system is retarding the timing to avoid knocking, so
I'm
losing power. The engine computer is supposedly designed to constantly
advance
the timing just shy of knocking, so theoretically it should respond to
higher
octane fuel."
