In the owners manual it claims that if you use anything less than 91 with the 2.4l then your acceleration will be slowed and you will hear a knocking noise...

I don't hear anything after I turn mine off, (I have the 2.4L). Try changing your gas, just too see, it sys that after you run the 91 or higher for a bit it should stop, if not take it to the dealer....but let us know either way, I'm curious on this....
