WELL YOU GOT IT ABOUT HALF RIGHT!!!!!!!!
gas is gas is gas that is true. but they can keep gas separated. they send nolead and premium and diesel through the same pipe.one type pushes the other and there is a testing lab that test the product as it is coming through the pipe so they know when to switch to the other tank. yes it does mix a little at the point of different types but not enough to matter. cheaper to put a little premium in the nolead tank than to build a seperate pipe for each.
as far as additives go this is trucked to the gas loading rack and added to the gas as it is loaded on the truck for delivery.the additive does not go through the pipe line.
so if you buy exxon gas at a exxon station you may be getting gas made at a shell refinery but you will allways be getting exxon additive and vise versa.
so in short the only difference between gas is the additive that is added.so all gas is not the same the additive is different.the only gas at a station that may be the same is the no names. citgo, unbranded mom and pop stations, speedway, ect.. all use a generic additive.
the big boys; shell, exxon, chevron, texaco, ect.. all use brand specific additive.in fact it is against the law to put gas mixed with say shell additive into a non shell station..

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
