My 93 SSE runs better on higher octane fuel. Yeah, I could (and probably should) dig into it and make it run on 87 octane, but I'm lazy and pumping 91 is easy.
(Truth really is that TIME is a premium and as long as it runs well on 91 octane, I'll use that time whittling away at my wife'* continuously growing "Stan'* Project List"...yet another story.)
And I don't like anyone else touching my car , so having someone else poking around under the hood is a NO.

on 87 octane CFoote saw plenty of knock ... he'* NA.
Meanwhile my 95 at the time was running premo and had zero knockage...
Fuel choice isn't always a bandaid for other issues.
He'* in the 113F desert
They have their own "special" blend of fuel in AZ
Bob'* been under the hood
You are right..it'* probably that last reason...lol

hah
But if it weren't for someone else looking under the hood, I wouldn't be able to eat an egg off the engine

Hmmm...
My first reaction is to suspect the exhaust leak I thought I heard, but if it only happens with TCC applied it wouldn't be an exhaust leak....
I agree with trying to run some premium, or at least the 89 octane they sell around here. This makes me wonder how much KR I have in this heat...
