The short answer is yes.
However, gasoline is very highly regulated and has to have a minimum standard. That minimum standard is good enough.
Different brands have varying amounts of additives with the main one being detergent.
Some of the people that answered previously were talking about grades of gasoline; that is the octane rating.
Each "brand" has their own proprietary formula for the additive package they put in gasoline. One thing is a "marker" that is put in gasoline so that the oil company can tell if the service station is cheating by putting a different brand of gasoline.
There have been as many as 12 different specifications for gasoline for different parts of the U.S.
There are also seasonal differences in the same grade of gasoline.

Some people say there are, and swear by a certain brand of gasoline. I say no. Not only do those highly touted and advertised fuel additives make up about one pint per truckload, but fuel companies buy one another's gasoline to make up for shortages and overages, so gasoline bought at a Chevron station might have come from a Shell refinery.

There could or won't be. reckoning on the producer. It does all come from the comparable place despite if it comes all the way down to the call form which you believe. Many small gasoline stations will water down your gasoline to make an extra greenback. you will see this on your motor vehicle's overall performance. vast form call agencies will in many cases supply you the actual deal with the aid of fact they're already making sufficient funds and because they have a acceptance to guard.

YES!!! If ur talkin about 87, 91, or 93 octane most definetely! If its a name brand like Shell, yes also. Those cheap gas places like Raceway, or Racetrack get their gas off the fuel trucks last. This means that all the sediment and trash go to them! Get your gas from either Shell or Exxon. They have the best quality of fuels.

No. Different companies use the same refineries.
