Although stations buy from a lot of suppliers so how could you even know?

There is generally one refinery that all stations in a given town buy from. Shipping fuel from a different refinery would be enough more expensive that you wouldn't be competitive.

Sometimes stations have their own additive package.

Go to a station that sells one brand. Like a Shell or Exxon (Esso) station.
