I've heard this before - and I'm willing to believe it - but would like some
real proof beyond heasay or simple parroting something they heard from someone
else..

To the contrary: yesterday I filled up the reliable TDI jetta at a Shell
station.  I just happened to notice a small label on the Shell Pump "AMOCO
Diesel".  Now I ask, if all gas, and presumably diesel too, comes from the
same "pipline" why would Shell be obligated to state that the diesel they sell
comes from AMOCO?

Inquiering minds wanna know.
