Could be low octane, Buy an octane booster and pour it into your gas tank (only costs a few dollars) or try a higher octane gasoline.

What do you mean by knocking property of fuel?

The "knocking property" of fuel refers to its tendency to cause engine knocking or detonation, which is an undesirable phenomenon in internal combustion engines. Knocking occurs when the air-fuel mixture ignites prematurely before the spark plug fires, leading to a sudden rise in pressure that can damage the engine. This property is often measured using octane rating; higher octane fuels are less prone to knocking, making them more suitable for high-performance engines. Proper fuel selection is crucial for optimal engine performance and longevity.
