RH77: I had the timing on my 89 Honda advanced. However, what I noticed was starting about mid September the pinging went up dramatically. I know that here in California they adjust the fuel blend for smog reasons and the consequence on my car is that I had to back off the timing. You could go to a higher octane rating, but my expectation is that the mileage gain will be lost if you look at the costs.
