Anything can be marketed. I see no reason why petrol would be any different. We already get some branding with companies like Shell advertising higher levels of detergents (TopTier). I'd think branding petrol as "conflict-free" and promoting the fact that it's 100% USA with $0 going to Saudis would be a selling point for many people.
