What a shocker!

Had some really ancient gasoline in the tank.
Had more torque but there was some low-RPM ping'n.
What I didn't know was, gasoline looses octane as it ages.
Good thing it started out as premium fuel.
Interestingly, even diluting that old fuel down by 50% (added half-tank of premium) wasn't enough.

Lesson here is, if you're getting LSPI issues on a stock setup, you got junk fuel.
