Anyone know what happened to Amoco Premier in Minnesota?

I an trying to determine what happened to Amoco Premier in Minnesota. 3+ years ago, I could buy it at local (Mpls./St. Paul) Amoco stations. One by one, the diesel tanks were pulled or converted. The product was supplied to Minnesota from the [then] Amoco refinery in Mandan, ND and delivered to the Roseville, MN, distribution center for local pick up by transporters. I called the Roseville dist. center yesterday and discovered that it is no longer owned and operated by Amoco but that they still receive Premier from Mandan. However, to this persons knowledge, no Amoco [now BP] stations receive it. Only indepedent jobbers pick up Premier and take it to who knows where. I wonder if Premier in Minnesota is now available only for agricultural (i.e. off-road) use.

I will continue to look for an answer and will try to contact BP/Amoco marketing to learn more.
