Even then, you can't be sure what you're getting.  The majors swap gasoline,
so you might be getting Exxon at a Shell station, etc.

P. S., the majors also supply custom blended gasoline, motor oil, etc.
to both off-brand and quality brand suppliers.  For example, most of
the motor oil sold under a well known 'Pennsylvania grade' premium motor
oil brnad name actually comes from a Gulf coast refinery belonging to
one of the majors.
