<VV> Gas Brands no difference in basic formula

[Bill Elliott]

I can easily see this being true for the vast majority of gasolines, but 
how about Amoco/BP Ultimate? That still seems to be a vastly different 
fuel from the base up; much more than just an additive difference. Are 
there any other brands that are similarly "special"? Or conversely any 
"off brand" that carries the Ultimate under some cheaper label?
