In reality, in any given area, most of the fuel comes from the same refinery. The addatives are added to the fuel while loading onto truck.
And in places such as LA, Dallas, Chi, etc. The jobbers that deliever the fuel, can get the fuel from multiple refineries and dump it all into the same storage tank at the station. A busy station can recieve fuel multiple times a day, all from a different refinery.
So in reality, the additives are the only thing you are voting on here.

Same here. That is until the Chevron/Texaco refinery here in SLC started blending 100% of there Gasoline Products with up to 10% Ethanol.

Also at any other stations here in Utah look closely, as there are more and more stations useing it.
