in all seriousness, the area the 04 STis were reporting ping my 05 had a huge dip in the powerband.
I was only able to run a 13.6 stock.

you should get a vaccum pump and make sure it pops open at the correct PSI a few times.

Well, I'll have to look into testing the EWG. I guess it's wrong to assume that a new car would have nothing physically wrong with it. I think I'll give it another couple weeks of trying new gas stations and then take it to the dealer and have them test the EWG. I know they have to have one of those pressure testers. I'll ask them to look at that specifically.
