According to the service manager at the local dealer (Wille Dodge Chysler),
my '97 has knock sensors. Presumably the advance must be variable based upon
the grade of the fuel, but nobody seem to know for sure.
Chevron is competetively priced (ie. the same) here as the no-name brands
which are supposed to be lacking in additives. Apparently Canadian fuels are
formulated different than in the US. I've been told my numerous sources to
avoid 87 octane (even Chevron) for both automotive and outboard use. I run
89 in everything, even my lawn mower.
