Has anyone else experienced this, or do I have a bad tank of gas?

It has no-name brand (Crown) gas in it right now. I have a hair under 3K miles on the car.
I have read no posts in this forum, except yours, complaining of pinging. And in 11 months I have not experienced any pinging in temps from 10 degrees Fahrenheit up to 100 degrees outside temperature using 87 octane gas.
