In the US, gasoline from various brands usually comes from the same distribution point, with differences in the detergent packages that are added in. The gasoline itself is very uniform, but the cleaning agents vary. The government sets a minimum detergent level, and TopTier certified fuels have an even higher minimum.

As Ecky points out, higher octane fuel has slightly less energy, so only use it if your engine calls for it.
