snoman--I understand completely where you're coming from; my point is that if your truck has engine knock issues when running on 87 octane even though the owners manual clearly states that it can and/or is supposed to run fine on 87, then one of the following two things must be true--either the manufacturer is lying, or there's something wrong with your engine. Pumping higher octane gas to fix/quiet engine knock does not eliminate either of these two possible truths...I mean, wouldn't you ask the dealer why an engine should knock when running on 87 octane if the friggin' manual explicitly states that it should be able to run fine on 87? Or do you just assume that everything that is stated in the owners manual is incorrect?:kidding:
