As a test, I switched to 87 and didn't have the problem for about 100 miles and afterwards it came right back with a more easily noticeable flare causing a quick, brief surge of power.

Is it me, or does it seem like the flaring problem only really happens when driving at a normal pace (smooth acceleration, nothing too aggressive, sometimes just coasting)? When I accelerate a bit more aggressively (most of the time for me), the flares aren't as common and are definitely less noticeable.
Thats what i noticed too, it has only flared at a normal driving pace.
