91 vs 92 octane

I have a '00 Aero automatic and live in the San Francisco area. Either late last year or earlier this year all of the premium fuels went from 92 to 91 octane. Now that the weather is warming up, I'm starting to hear pinging under loads at low rpm. I ran two tanks with aftermarket octane boost and it went away. I thought the Saabs compensated for lower octane. Any others noticing this? I'm taking in in this week to have it checked out.
