Noise caused by gas

I went back to my mechanic today to sort out the noise issue. Nervous and annoyed, I was filled with frustration because I already paid a good amount for the repairs last week, and I really didn't want to spend any more. Master Huang was busy so he asked one of his staff to drive it with me. When I pointed out the noise, he asked me what kind of gas I had been buying. "Regular," I responded.

"You have to use premium," A-Gar said.

"You're telling me this is a gas problem?"

"Yes."

I was so surprised. I asked him a couple of more times to make sure that was what I was hearing. When we came back to the shop, Master Huang was agreeing to that assessment. I used to buy premium gas when I first bought the car, but after a few months, I switched to cheap, regular grade. I talked to Sylvia, she also said that answer made sense. Oh well, I am going to feed it premium tomorrow. If that really gets rid of the clinking noise, I will buy expensive, premium grade (perhaps mix with mid grade sometime) from now on.
