Are you pinking??

Do you get it when you accelerate at say 25MPH but you're in 4th gear?

If so you may be using crappy supermarket fuel, probably Tesco's.
Put some good stuff in.

I'm sure thats what those people thought before they put contaminated fuel in their tanks. Tescos had to pay out for all those cars to be put right.
I always use the same garage when I can, the local shell unleaded. No point in putting anything higher grade in, the ST isn't mapped for it.

You're correct that there's no point in putting Ultimate etc in as the ST isn't set-up for it. It was set-up for normal BP, but obviously Shell etc are just as good - in actual fact I've found that mine seems to run best on Total for some reason. Some people have actually found that their ST's haven't liked higher grade fuels. However I've found supermarket fuel to be a non-no. I only did this once down in Newquay at the 2006 summer event, as that was all that was available at the time, and very quickly everyones cars started to pink.
