The price difference has definitely gone up. In the past -- perhaps even as recent as only a year ago -- I seem to remember the premium for 91 gas (over 87 gas) to be in the 17 - 22¢ range. But these days, the range seems to have increased to a 22 - 26¢ range.
I only fill up at night when the prices are cheaper.

Is the gas quality the same as Esso, Husky etc ?
From what I heard, its the same gas truck that goes from station to station refilling gas for them.
True ?

I don't ever use Super Save gas, so I can't really comment on it. But I have used Mobil, Esso, and Husky on occasion, and I couldn't come to anything conclusive about these 3 brands.
Mobil and Esso are both under ExxonMobil, so you'd think that their gas should be identical. Generally, I find that my 91 gas-tuned car does not like the stuff from either brand, and it seems to like the Mobil gas a little less than the Esso gas -- the engine seems to run slightly coarser and harsher when it is on Mobil gas. On 2 occassions when I filled up with Esso 91, the engine seems to be nearly as good on power and rev happiness as when it is on Shell V-Power, although the engine still felt more coarse when it is revving. Husky generally seems about the same as Mobil and Esso to my cars.
It should be noted that Mobil and Esso are Top Tier gas, while Husky isn't. But Husky also claims that its 91 gas contains no ethanol:
