Seriously though, I don't live in the US, our gas stations are completely different. I wouldn't know a chevron station if I was standing in one. While talking about gas, because I too have wondered about it, this is what William sent me via his ticket system. I don't think he'd mind me sharing. Quote:

My personal experience with Visconti tunes and knock correction (I run pumpgas, E85, ad E70 at various times)... Looks a lot like a log I had on crappy gas when running a pumpgas tune. I flashed back to stock thinking the tune may be the problem and it got even worse. John looked at some logs / sent revised tunes and it didn't help. I never went back to that station and I haven't seen worse than a -1 KC on a Visconti tune since.

@Calum. My point is that if you are odd man out, you might want to take a closer look at your car. In particular, gas is a good place to start surrounding the suggestion of detonation issues...if you care to experiment further.
Agreed. I've never had issue with Sunoco 93 in this car or my stage 2 WRX. |

You try logging on the stock tune under the same circumstances? When I had bad gas I would really get knock coming from off throttle to part throttle quickly. Prime example would be coming up behind a slow car, letting off the throttle, then bumping the throttle while changing lanes to pass. Ping!

Me and Calum are not the only ones who have experienced this either. Lastly, to rule out my car, I've flashed 16 Tony tunes, same gas station always, and only one has shown knock of max -2, never the -5 you can see in this four different logs. All logs on FL good 93 pumpgas tune.

Mine looks fine and I have the same car and tune, so what's the difference? Sure, the next guy has way better customer service, looks at the knock and adjusts it for shitty gas... |

First, we are not the only two. Second, its not shitty gas. Third, I asked Toni before letting him tune my car if he wanted to see what my previous logs look like and he said NO, it wont help me much.... So be blind about it, fine. But facts are facts. Oh... and I have seen logs from 3 other FI forum member logs showing my same knocking behavior. Just to be clear not everyone knocks like this, theres tons of people with awesome experience with his tunes. Just dont come here all amazed and trying to discredit facts because it does happen and it does happen bad.
