I bet exxon does evaluate exactly that question for each new station they take under contract (they don't open them themselves in the US, too, don't they?). BTW, just as an excerpt, exxon stations don't sell exxon gas, actually all stations sell the same gas. Seriously, they may add some "additives" at the station itself or the trailer but the gas comes from the same refineries for all of them. Get some knowledge about how business works before making bold statements.
