When you think about it supermarkets have to get their fuel from one of the petrol big boys, and given what a small % additives are of the total cost it hardly makes any sense to invest in separate storage and logistics.
Have you never heard of a split-compartment trailers? i.e. a tanker which can deliver multiple fuels at the same time?

Much the same as the reefer trailers going into supermarkets can deliver a mix of ambient, chilled and frozen produce all-in-one.

It's a clever old world we live in.
