You can advance or retard the timing but moving the crank sensor. Yes the link is to a mazda 3 forum, but we have the same engine: http://www.mazda3forums.com/showthread.php?t=237337

Using 91 fuel? 95 or 98 will fix it, but obviously cost more to fill up.

That's it. As per the manual, engine noise will increase, and performance will decrease using 91 fuel. That's one way of describing pinging.
