Knocking noise

hey guys, so yesterday I filled up my tank full at a gas station with 87 octane. After driving for 20 minutes I can notice the engine has been acting very weird. Another 10 minutes goes by and a very faint knocking begins. So I drove back home because I was very worried, haven't started it then. The gas station seemed very out of shape and it was far away from town. So could it be because I filled up my tank with bad gas or the 87 octane? And if I would need to drain the tank, thanks

Find a village shop that sells fuel additives and add a couple of cans of "Octane Boost"

Yeah! Do that and make sure you never fill with less than 91 Octane.

Why would you blatantly ignore the owners manual and fuel door instructions and then wonder why you have an issue?

its the 87 octane, its not what is required for your car. I would pump it out and refill it
