Well yeah, there's a very slight ping I often hear from mine. If you're familiar with the sound and attuned to it, with ears that haven't been totally blasted out by loud music, you can hear it when the knock sensor does. It's nothing like the real knocking noise of damaging detonation.

Between your next "jobs," have someone read these links to you...

This forum is full of googlemasters now we can add another...
So let me get this right. I knocked you for lack of knowledge...but now I cant read, don't have a job, dont have any money because I spend 2 dollars and week on premium gas and apparently am a male prostitute? Your a class act.
Why dont you try something, and report unbiased results like I did. Christ you would think being thrifty is a virtue and spending any amount of money no matter how small is a sin, so what religion is that? Jehovahs Cheapskates? I put in premium and got a solid 2 mpg improvement. I dont care what you buy, see if kerosene will burn in that thing I think Wallyworld has a sale on it right now...
Actually I was hoping for no change so I wouldnt have a reason to buy premium. BTW I'm now up to 36 mpg...

Wow, I guess that would make you pretty busy... and overwhelmed.

Maybe I missed something, but I'm pretty sure at no time before your quoted post in this thread did you post ANY results... In fact in your first post, you were calling people "cheap bastards".

Thanks for the tip... I get a discount there. It's good to know people in high places.


Are we having fun yet?

That's GoogleMaster. Capitalization is important.

I'm going to pass on defending the use of references to support my opinion, if you happen to find one to support yours though, you may want to share it.

Maybe later we can get back on topic.

Responding to your own posts now? Youre a troll. And a sensitive one at that.
I'm amazed that a person of your obvious powers of web-surfing did see this thread I started in this very forum, that YOU replied to with the parroted ad naseum reply "youre just wasting your money" blah blah blah....

http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20281

Lets get back to cars. If I send you a couple dollars will you try premium and report back the results? I imagine its pretty hot there in Georgia this time of year, and you must be using the A/C. Why not try it instead of bagging on someone who did?
With your multi-quoting ability and grammar super-powers I presume you are a troll on other forums as well.....TROLL. I guess that "cheap bastard" thing really cut you to the bone....
Maybe you can enlighten us on the vast experience you have had with your car in the 2 weeks you have owned it.

So to fully engage in a name calling war, I accept your troll declaration and return volley with, you are a CONTRARIAN TROLL. Just in case you are not familiar with the term, I'll share the definition...


The Contrarian Troll. A sophisticated breed, Contrarian Trolls frequent boards whose predominant opinions are contrary to their own. A forum dominated by those who support firearms and knife rights, for example, will invariably be visited by Contrarian Trolls espousing their beliefs in the benefits of gun control. It is important to distinguish between dissenters and actual Contrarian Trolls, however; the Contrarian is not categorized as a troll because of his or her dissenting opinions, but due to the manner in which he or she behaves:

– Contrarian Warning Sign Number One: The most important indicator of a poster's Contrarian Troll status is his constant use of subtle and not-so-subtle insults, a technique intended to make people angry. Contrarians will resist the urge to be insulting at first, but as their post count increases, they become more and more abusive of those with whom they disagree. Most often they initiate the insults in the course of what has been a civil, if heated, debate to that point.

– Contrarian Warning Sign Number Two: Constant references to the forum membership as monolithic. "You guys are all just [descriptor]." "You're a lynch mob." "You all just want to ridicule anyone who disagrees with you."

– Contrarian Warning Sign Number Three: Intellectual dishonesty. This is only a mild indicator that is not limited to trolls, but Contrarians display it to a high degree. They will lie about things they've said, pull posts out of context in a manner that changes their meanings significantly, and generally ignore any points for which they have no ready answers.

– Contrarian Warning Sign Number Four: Accusing the accusers. When confronted with their trolling, trolls immediately respond that it is the accusers who are trolls (see Natural Predators). Often the Contrarian will single out his most vocal opponent and claim that while he can respect his other opponents, this one in particular is beneath his notice.

– Contrarian Warning Sign Number Five: Attempts to condescend. The Contrarian will seek refuge in condescending remarks that repeatedly scorn his or her critics as beneath notice – all the while continuing to respond to them.

– Contrarian Warning Sign Number Six: One distinctive mark of Contrarian Trolls is that every thread in which they dissent quickly devolves into a debate about who is trolling whom. In the course of such a debate the Contrarian will display many of the other Warning Signs mentioned above.
