I know down in Tampa Fla you can see multiple brands pulling up to the same tanks and then a second station. Almost looks like they get the gas and then there own special mixture of chemicals to put in it. Same dinosaurs so it kinda makes sense

FWIW, I'm a great believer in the non-ethanol gas, regardless whether it's regular or premium. The truck runs better and my mileage is, as well. Look them up on pure-gas.org. the website will show where the stations are located throughout the US and Canada. You pay a little more for the gas, but the performance is SO much better! Hope this helps.

Stopped by a Shell station today intrigued by their "V Power" super gasoline. Noticed right off the bat at the pump that the advertised v-power is only available in the high octane fuel at just over $0.40 more per gallon. Thought before hand they either had higher quality fuel & or mixed in additives at the pump itself. I will stay with cheaper gas and pour in additives myself bought off the shelf at the local auto parts store. In my 20+ years of driving i've never been able to tell or feel any effects from cheaper gas to "super" gas. I have had once a bad tank of gas enter the vehicle (water) and it was a p.i.t.a to drain and get all the moisture out, but that was the station fault not the fuel itself.

In my area Shell/Motiva have their own refinery and truck loading facility. This enables them to have a little better quality control over their product.. different additives are usually added at the loading rack for other customers specs. I tried the new V-Power 93 last week and so far it has me impressed. Best mpg's and power since I bought my truck and usually use Shell or Valero who also have a local refinery. Watch out for the cheap off brands because the quality control may not be as good.
