Extremely high likelihood both stations are supplied by exactly the same refinery.
Said another way, very unlikely that each brand has its own refinery. And, with diesel, additives are not an important part of the fuel.
Go with the less expensive one.
Correct. Diesel fuel, as well as gasoline may come from different refineries but most of it goes through the same pipelines to the same tank farm before it gets locally distributed to dispensing stations for wholesale/retail sale. Branding fuels only involves proprietary additive blends which are a very small portion of the fuel. There are some exceptions to this but it's mostly true.
