Yeah, come to think of it, I had the problem a bit even when I ran 91 too. Ever since I figured it out, it's been 93 octane ever since for our car. It only costs about $4 more for a full-tank fillup. And I've found that some gas stations will do a special like 93 for the price of 91 on tuesdays if you pay cash, wear a green sweater, and hop on one foot while pumping.

If that doesn't work...

You've got 80k miles and this started 10k ago, right? did your mechanic perhaps misadjust your timing when he replaced the belt? I'm pretty sure there's a way to advance/retard your timing if you take the belt's cover off.
