Just tune it with **** gas ftw. Unless all you want are numbers, it is the wise thing to do, it will keep you in a safer place the rest of the time.
By-the-way humid air should lower your knock threashold, water helps reduce knock.

You sure about that? Id like to hear that out of Al's keyboard actually. My car is noticebley faster in the cold at the same boost, not to mention I sometimes turn it up to 23 in the winter and it doesnt knock.

Most of the Wawa stations around here (Philadelphia area and suburbs) are buying their fuel right from the Sunocco refinery in South Philly anyway...
