There are lots of Shell stations in my area, but i don't think the nearest Shell refinery is any closer than Louisiana. (We're near Chicago.) There's a BP refinery and a Citgo refinery nearby, but also a big Exxon facility. The trucks all go to the terminals and get the gas to bring to stations. We have no way of knowing who actually made that gas.
