Default Random engine knocking!

hey guys my camaro was running great 3 days ago no problem nothing, then before i went out saturday night i filled up with 93 octane premium,supreme whatever there called. all of a sudden when i went to school this morning it was knocking, really ugly knock. crusing about 30-40 mph, rpms go down then back up, any reasons why? could it be bad gas? i had a similar problem before but it was my ignition wiring and i changed all those and i have boot sleeves on them to protect it from the heat of the headers. if you guys can help it would be great it really frustrates me especially since i finally had it running perfect. thanks.

Any time an engine acts up after getting gas, bad gas is the first thing to suspect. Did you get it from a different place from where you usually do?
