I just drove 2 miles here in LA. I passed several stations. The price disparity between the brands was really big. Valero was 3.89, Mobil was 3.99, Chevron was 3.79, and another Mobil was 4.09! That's 30 cents difference with 4 stations that are in the same area. All of the stations were on major roads. That's bizarre. There must be some difference with what they're doing with the gas otherwise why would the prices be so off? Do "discount" brands generally have lower quality gas?
