Furthermore, the distribution company gets it from whatever storage facility they can access.

For example, there is a Marathon storage facility not far from where I live and I see all types of trucks driving out of there. From distribution companies to trucks actually labeled with another gas company's name.
+1 - I too live near a storage/distribution facility and see trucks of all brands coming and going. I just gas up with regular wherever we are that is convenient. As long as the car doesn't knock or ping, I will continue to use regular. The performance difference is barely noticeable.

Valero and Kroger for me.

I go there because they are the most busiest and hence always get fresh gas.

I use Chevron or Shell. Which ever is convenient. But in the end, as long as its a Top Tier gasoline product, you are good to go. Check by brand who is top tier: http://www.toptiergas.com/retailers.html.
