Default question on detonation????????????

Is there a way to know if I'm running lean and detonation is occurring w/o a gauge?

Detonation sounds like BB's in a coffee can. Pull your plugs and see what they look like. White = lean. Black (carbon) = rich.

What would cause detonation? i have a 2000 civic with 120,000km and it is detonating. I was told that it was probably my timingbelt that need to be changed.

WHen i fill it with supreme gas then it pretty much goes away but when i pump it with regular it detonates.
