The vast majority of gas stations (including gas brands like Texaco, Shell, etc.) get there gas from the same pipeline. Most stations are owned by independent companies or individual owners. Unless you know that the station is corporate owned, will that station be actually using their own gas. So with that said, nearly every gas station in your area...the gas will be the same gas since it all came from the same refinery and pipeline to your area. The trucks are just carriers who transport from A to B. Trust me, I have two friends who own several gas stations and this is how it was explained to me. I can elaborate more for you if need be.

true same gas different additives tho ie chevron/techron shell vpower

more expensive/named stations like shell and chevron uses way better additves compare to lower end stations ie costco
they use bare minimum government requirements which overtime could cuase buildup on your engine and hinder performance


ive always been a fan of chevron 93 octaneand been using it since i started driving almost 15 yrs
