pinging

If i put anything but the most expensive fuel in my truck it knocks like a cop at a house party and with the good stuff she runs smooth as silk.

I have been told that my timing is off. I have absolutely NO experience or knowledge about timing.

I know there is a GURU out there that can brake it down for me. Why would timing effect the type of gas i can use? What is happening when an engine knocks? How do i fix it so i can put the "cheap" stuff in?
