MPG with different diesel fuel brands
A little bit of interesting data some may like to know. A little back story..... Due to farm tax expenses and other side businesses I have had over the years, I recorded my full ups for my truck. ...

As one who has tanked fuel in the past, there is no substantive difference between station branding and diesel fuel. In any location, it all comes from the same fuel terminal(s) in the area, which fuel is sourced from a variety of refineries. The only major difference is in winter, where it is dependent on the station manager to specify fuel blending (#1 and #2) based on cold temps, and that can affect fuel economy to some degree. #1 offers lower fuel economy than #2, but it has fewer issues in cold weather. And stations may vary in the blending amount and when they do it.
I still go thru about 20,000 gallons of diesel a year. I purchase fuel in various locations, various outlets, in several different states, year round. I run meticulous spread sheets on my fuelings and mpg's, and have done so for over 3 decades. There is nothing substantive about different brands.
