All fuels are made by the same refineries and the same individuals
operating the refining units.  It makes no sense that specs for one
product are adhered to while for another ther're not.  Sometimes fuel
made by one refinery is sold under the name of another refinery because
of logistics, so brand names guarantee nothing, except that all brands
meet the specs.  There are several grades of diesel, but only those
acceptable for engines are found at auto pumps.
