Well, I let my mom borrow my car and it was pretty close to empty so she thought she would do me a favor and fill it up (with 89 regular gasoline) Today I drive the car and its knocking upon acceleration. and it knocks sometimes a little at idle. Im thinking and hoping its just pre-ignition knock, I was just wondering what I should do about this?

Went to try figure the problem out some more, took it around the block and it died up the street from my house and woulded start so I rolled it in front of my neighbors house and said F*(# it... Any one have a clue on what might be going on here?

Ill check that out although I put a new filter in it a few weeks ago. It honestly is starting to sound like a rod knock actually. it knocks at idle, knocks when accelerating (although the car has a major lack of). Not sure though, I wanna rule out the gas before I order a used engine.
