ooops! i meant engine pinging, you are correct! but many use the terms ping and knock interchangeably. either way, higher octane prevents preignition or predetonation, as we stated, and shouldnt be used in our yarii. kaotic's higher mpg may have been cause by better drafting behind cars, a stronger tailwind, who knows! but it definitely wasnt the use of higher octane gas...and i agree that this is definitely ON TOPIC! now, if i started talking about how kaotic's choice of laundry detergent affected his mpg, that would be considered off topic...

Consumer reports ranked Costco brand Kirkland’s "liquid" laundry detergent number 1 and tide number 2.. FYI.
