Sued * USA - Nearly two dozen California gas station owners allege price fixing
San Francisco,CAL,USA -The Trucker -21 Aug 2007: -- Nearly two dozen gas station owners in California sued Shell Oil Co., Chevron Corp. and Saudi Refining Inc., on Tuesday, claiming the companies conspired to fix prices for 23,000 franchise owners nationwide... The case filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco seeks class-action status for the plaintiffs. It is similar to another lawsuit filed in 2004 by other California gas station owners that was thrown out by the U.S. Supreme Court last year. The new group of plaintiffs hopes the court will consider a slightly different argument... In a new twist, the plaintiffs now say the venture violates a "rule of reason" governing antitrust matters...
