Do you know what happens when you step on the gas with low octane fuel?

The cars computer delivers a large gulp of extra fuel!

The car cannot immediately change the timing, besides the pinging occurs BEFORE the plugs spark.

I got fooled bny a french gas pump and got a tankful of very low octane while traveling through Canada.

That tankful got 5 MPG less than all the other tankfulls from Massachusetts to Minnesota and back again.

Does your timing change permanently, or does the process occur again and again?
