No, it won't knock. The ECU will adjust timeing and boost to stop the knocking. You WILL have less power and get lower MPG.
Do the calcs for the MPG you get now vs. with regular. You save maybe $100 per year before you take into account the MPG decrease... and you turn your expensive and fun turbo into a much less fun car. Seems like a loss all around to me.
As for the prices... shop with your wallet. Oil companies, intermediate suppliers, and most gas stations are gouging every dollar they can get. There's a reason for the record profits that increase every year.
