I have a 95 900S NA with 150K kms. For the past year or so, have been using the cheap 87 gas and have noticed significant knocking especially on hot summer days. After a recent major engine repair - timing chain & balancer shafts, and the advice of this board, I have started using 92 gas - Chevron or Petro Canada. I also used a bottle of Chevron Techron Concentrate with my last fill. I must say that the engine is definitely way smoother and lots of jump! I used to think that for 150HP, the performance was acceptable but now - I think it's great especially in Sports mode. I do get the occasional knock (I think) when I floor it suddenly while it is rolling at about 30km/h to avoid a red light.
Hope this helps....
