Seems like the issue could be down to whatever additives were (or were not) added. Like a previous poster said, there are definitely winter and geographic blends as well. If you’re really interested search for RBOB + whatever region/brand/season/etc. you’re interested in. With a little digging you should be able to find the specifications for gas in your area, but I’m not sure how useful the information would be from a tuning perspective.
