Extremely high likelihood both stations are supplied by exactly the same refinery.
In this specific. Flying-J does have it's own refinery (Well they share with pilot) or did last I knew. But usually yes.
I will add this. There is a difference in STATIONS..
I am more familiar with Gasoline and did a term paper on Standard Oil when in college so this info is somewhat "Dated" (1960's).
The state of Michigan, allows a gas station to have UP TO a specific amount of water in the bottom of the storage tanks.. Standard.. allowed their stations to have exactly 1/2 that amount before they called in for service, and they tested it every dilevery.
ONE station (NOT Standard) was caught topping off the storage tanks with a garden hose. (Water)...
So there is a difference in STATIONS.
Had a Standard Station manager or worse yet owner/operator done that back in the day... Well the sign crew would be taking down the sign. likely before the shouting died down.
