Customers of BP could be in line for compensation, if they unknowingly bought tainted gasoline last summer, reports WBBM Newsradio’s Bernie Tafoya.
Thousands of motorists already had received reimbursement checks from BP for bad gas bought between mid-August and early September last year at gas stations in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Ohio, according to the report.
Other motorists were waiting out a class-action lawsuit, which recently was settled for $7 million.
Nearly 600 gas stations in the Midwest received the tainted gasoline. In total, approximately 4.7 million gallons of bad gasoline were sold at stations in Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Ohio.
