It probably can't retard enough to compensate for the very good compression these cars give.

I had a F150 straight 6 once that could tell the weather. When it was hot and dry, it would clatter under acceleration, but it ran 175k miles before using oil.

Clatter shows it's got plenty of advance in the timing, and that colder air and turbo gives greater compression;just keep 91 or highest oct you can buy.
