Even though the enhanced anti-knock properties of premium fuel allow for a leaner burn, sometimes it's not activated in order to avoid overheating (especially in a low-cost econobox which might not have the cooling system dimensioned to handle the usually higher temperatures while running too lean) or due to emissions compliance.
