How many brands of gasoline can one station sell?


In the gas station scene, the logos for Texaco, Gulf and Mobil are all on the station property.Obviously these signs were obtained to give the film an "American" setting, but I have never seen a gas station selling multiple brands of gas..
Also Ma Grissom loses her American accent every few words and reverts to her British one.

The "Wayne" on the gas pumps themselves is not a brand of gasoline, but the manufacturer of the gas pumps themselves. My guess is the studio or production company wanted American style gas pumps and they ordered them direct from the company. They appear to be model 70 pumps.
