My 99 2.3LPT pings and dealer has done little (longish)

At least I've always thought it was pinging, though now i'm going to follow up on the heat shield item someone mentioned in this thread...
I run 91 octane exclusively (the best you can do in san diego) and the boneheaded dealer had the nerve to write on my last service statement "use higher octane" after we had a long chat about the problem...
Only time I ever had any relief was after my 30k service -- it stopped for a while then.
Now about to hit 60k, will see if these new plugs help.
My symptom is pinging on moderate acceleration, between about 2500 and 3000 rpm -- usually noticeable when going up a hill. Worse in the summer. Most often heard right after the car upshifts. If i accelerate briskly and keep the revs up, I don't hear it (don't know if it's gone or if the other noises are drowning it out)
I've tried fuel injection cleaner (techron and others) several times, to no avail...
It's pretty frustrating, as you can tell from the length of my post :)
