That is how it is here as well, the lower grades of gasoline have ethanol in them while the premium does not, so the lower grades have less energy in them and if your engine has a knock then the most common way to make that knock go away is by adding more fuel for the cooling effects and because an engine that is running lean tends to run hotter.
