How true is this statement.

That I do not think is true.
What is true though is that many trucks deliver to a number of gas stations, and then they put in the additives of that stations (be it Shell/Exxon/etc.). Very few stations today control from port to station, and even more so it is around 75-80% of stations are independently owned (no control from the brand on the billboard).
