Colo. people -> more engine knock lately?
Not just your engine, but anybody's. In the last couple of weeks I've noticed more engine knock out of my 3.0 and lots of other vehicles as I'm walking, biking or driving with the windows down. Is it just me? Has our fuel changed recently (May 1st is the winter/summer fuel switch, isn't it?)? Are the gas companies sticking it to us with crappy gas at $2++/gallon?

my 22re knocks more now than it ever has. really noticed it today, but a/c was on and it was stop and go. i'm running 87 octane and normally, including running up through the tunnel 20x each boarding season, never have a problem.
