Good question. I have wondered the same thing. I think it would be worth contacting Kroger corporate for a definitive answer. I'll drop 'em an e-mail and let you know what they say.
P.S.: I've submitted the question.

I'm curious, too.
Locally, they have a partnership with Shell (a top tier brand AFAIK) for discounts of $.03-10/gallon. But I don't know if it's Shell gasoline or not. If so, if top tier, I'll use it more.

I contacted Turkey Hill about a year ago and spoke to their sales manger about their gasoline. They buy it from Sunoco'refinery but add almost 4 times the detergent that Sunoco does. And generally their prices are the same or lower than Sunoco in the Lancaster, PA area where we lived at the time.
My real question for him was why they don't advertise that they are Top Tier. He said it is really not an issue for most people, they don't know what it means and they do it because it is "the right thing to do."

Does the fact that Shell's are teamed up with Kroger for the '10 cent' discount per gallon deal mean anything in relation to this? That is if you shop at Kroger that Shell will give you the fuel discount too, anyway. Not bad if you want V-Power 93 octane.
This has been my question for a long time now. I have a F4L close to my house with a fuel station, and I been wondering. If Ralph's get there gas from Shell, shouldn't Kroger use it to?
As they used to say on "Laugh in", Verrrry interesting.
Since I use almost exclusively Shell diesel, I wonder about that too.

This is exactly what I am wondering as well. The way I see it is that Shell has nothing to lose from teaming up with Kroger if they in fact are the supplier for Kroger for these two reasons:
A) If a Kroger shopper goes to Shell to get gas for the 10 cent discount then Shell gets the money from the consumer.
B) If a Kroger consumer goes to Kroger for the 10 cent discount then Shell will get the money from Kroger, since Kroger will continue to purchase Shell in order to supply a demand from their consumers.

Alright, here is my e-mail to Kroger, and the response I got this morning...

Thanks
