I haven't purchased gas at the Marathon in DuBois, but have used countless gallons when I work on the road/lived down south. Was never a problem. Much of the USA's fuel is often pumped together in the same pipelines regardless as to which refinery or company refined it. It is almost all mixed together, kinda like with your electric service - several producers tied to the same grid. The only real difference is quality of tank at the station and what additives are added for specific gas station companies.
