Huh on the gas?
There are no generic gas stations.
If you are thinking 7-11 or Stripes or other convenience store, they all have very specific refineries they get their fuel from.
How you can tell is look at the overhang at the gas pumps.
Example just in the last few years 7-11 went from Citgo to Alon. Stripes recently went from Valero to Sunoco.
Now ExxonMobil and the others do hire outside drilling companies to get the oil in the first place.
And in answer to your diamond question, yes if you are in Houston TX or Costa Mesa California.
