Default Civic Pining

My 97 Civic pings no matter what grade of gas I use and the Honda dealer
doesn't know what the problem is. The car has been tuned and valves
adjusted. Any ideas?

Dave,

Try a higher quality gasoline brand (regardless of octane). My '93 Accord
did the same thing with cheap quality gas in the tank. Switching to a
higher quality brand helped after a few fill-ups.
