Here are some graphics on Shell gasoline distribution in the US.
Shell Refineries on the West Coast
Motiva Refineries on the Gulf Coast
Explorer Pipeline map
Colonial Pipeline map
While Shell is one of the largest marketers of gasoline in the US, the Shell/Motiva refineries are not supplying gasoline to all the geographic regions of the country.
In some areas, the stations are purchasing & selling the same gas as the independent down the street. Of course the difference is the Shell detergent additive package which is added (hopefully) at the terminal rack.
Just wanted to post this info before I lost track of the bookmarks!
