You'd better be enjoying your knock sensor by now. The best thing I can think of is to get some steady-state cruising in, preferrably a sustained speed, light throttle drive. Avoid quick changes in throttle, as you've probably noticed already when your timing is advanced (I think I got it right this time... low octane burns too quickly, hence the knock as the piston travels upward) into oblivion when you do.
Then read my post. Maybe you can offer the wannabe-in-law a tank of swill for him?
Or you can get creative. Pull the fuel supply line and fill up all your gas cans for lawn mowers and other motorized accessories. Put it in a container on a street corner and tape a "Free gas" sign on it. Have yourself a barbecue. Strip paint with it (not suitable for plastics).
I agree that regular is pretty bad sometimes, but some stations are worse than others. Figure out who dispensed this and maybe get in contact with your weights and measures department. If there's that much water in it, it should not be used. If it's a chain, contact their customer service reps and see if they feel like keeping your business.
