Spark Knock, Help! - Low speed only....???

My 98 has recently developed spark knock at low speeds upon take off. I don't hear it upon acceleration on the highway. I got a bad tank of gas about 6 weeks ago (maybe coincidence that something else happened at same time). I ran isopropyl gas dryer, Octane boost and then Techron next tank. High octane fuel may calm it, I can't recall exactly, but it doesn't run well at all now on 87 Octane as it did before. Is it tune-up time? I have 15,000 miles on since last checked by Saab. Oh, I ran out of gas twice (how humiliating) in the last three months while depending on the SCC 'miles left'. Used Pennzoil 'Rescue' gas substitute the first time. Take it to Saab? Thanks for any help before that option.
