What causes a rattling or lifter noise on acceleration in a 96 jeep Cherokee?

I had a similar problem with my 96 classic. I took it to a couple of different mechanics and none of them found a real mechanical issue with it. But one of them did tell me that as these Jeep engines age they need better fuel or else they make noise. So he recommended that i use a higher grade octane. It seemed to fix the problem. As gas prices rose i would only use the high grade every now and then, the grinding noise on acceleration still happened but not nearly as frequent.
