Actually in the US, the law requires certain additives in retail gasoline at service stations. Some companies (notably Shell and Chevron, but others as well I'm sure) go above and beyond the required additives, but they all have additives of some sort, mostly detergents to keep engines running cleaner and more efficiently.
Also, I can't find a source right now, but I'm pretty sure I've read before that the base fuel stocks (before additives are mixed in) are virtually identical between all the top tier stations (ExxonMobil, ChevronTexaco, Shell, BP/Amoco, etc).
