I agree, though, if I needed to buy fuel in that week I'd go up one octane rating I think - again, just to be safe.

The faulty knock sensor code is accompianied by retarded ignition timing, the exact amount which is based on the intake air temperature.
So you might have a molasses-like throttle response, and reduced fuel economy, but it WON'T knock.
You'll be fine. -Danny
