So yes, many stations get the gas from a central location, but in the end the additives or lack of can quickly change the fuel.

Did I miss something? I thought this was already established at the beginning.
All petrol starts from the refinery and depending on region, transportation type (piped versus trucked), local storage standards, fuel system cleansers, etc, etc, has different additives.
Refinery processes are changing currently to European standards which should generate a better initial product.(example being diesel w/lower sulfur content)
This will lead to more European engine options that we currently don't see here.
!!keep it going!!
