What distinguishes one brand from another is what the trademark owner chooses to call the product. There may be specific additives to the gasoline or not. In the industry Chevron had a respected additive package. Gasoline is pretty much a fungible product. Just buy from a respectable location at a competitive price.

A side note on ethanol price. I have noticed at the only station that has non ethanol in my area that the price remains at a fixed $3.99/USgal regardless of price fluctuations with the E-10 grades. So far at least. I did ask at the station but of course they haven't any idea.
