NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I don't mind spending more to use whatever fuel is
correct for the application. I just thought that this is not a high
compression engine, and it doesn't knock on 87, so either that's the
proper fuel, or I'm not getting enough advance to need higher octane.
If this engine is supposed to _need_ high octane fuel, then maybe
something is not right with my advance mechanism.

Hmmm. Is the proper octane specified somewhere or did you arrive at 93
empirically (e.g. timing's right and it knocks with 89) or what? Do you
have the high compression engine?
