These things are not true in the UK - all fuel is held to the same high standard, though premium variants are available too.

So no petrol is permitted to be higher quality (for the same octane rating)?

ie you're asserting there is zero variance in quality?

OP wrote lower quality, not low quality

By "lower quality" I did mean "low quality".

It's the reverse of "this one is more expensive therefore it must be better" without any evidence at all that it is the case.

Yeah fair enough that's probably true

Companies are permitted to add additives etc but whether that meaningfully improves quality I'm not sure
