I'm not trying to start yet another lengthy thread but I have always
believed that REGULAR grade gas was, for some time, almost identical. I
don't think it is just an urban legend when one hears of various different
tankers pulling up to the *same* refinery. Now, for the PREMIUM blends,
maybe not. Consumer Reports magazine has done a fair amount of research on
this topic. The real scam is automotive oil. Go by the symbols and
ratings, rather than brand.

  In most cars the preformance differince between 89 to 94octaine is
not notacable.. In high preformance engines this is much more
notacable..

   It isn't an Urban Legend, I worked at a Turbo station for a year. The
driver who dropped the gas told me Turbo was buying gas from the Esso
plant. The Turbo plant was shut down for upgrading. Sometimes Turbo would
just buy gas from another plant because it was cheaper to buy than
produce! Ouch!!
