All gasoline is not the same. Some gasoline is crap and they sell this crap at mom and pop stations. Also, there is an issue with how old the gas is you buy and use.
I've said this before on here that I have a 1976 F100 with a high compression 7 liter engine. Every time I get premium gas at the mom and pop stations and even some more well known ones like Speedway my engine has issues. Idles rough, harder to start, preignition, etc... After I run that crap gas out and get gas from Exxon, BP or Shell, no more problems.
So, I don't care what you've read, your crappy low octane gas can be causing pinging or other similar issues and maybe even carbon buildup.
My 2019 JLUR with a 3.6 runs smoother and gets slightly better gas mileage on 89 octane from Exxon. I get gas at whatever is convenient on road trips. I've noticed a rougher idle and lower mileage during that period.
My .02 worth.
