octane content
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott charged
Petroleum Wholesale, L.P., Sun Development,
L.P., and related defendants with unlawfully
defrauding their customers by diluting medium
and premium grade gasoline with regular unleaded
fuel. Because the premium gasoline sold at 143
of the defendants’ Texas-based locations were
improperly diluted, the defendants are charged
with falsifying octane levels, defrauding their
customers and violating the Texas Deceptive
Trade Practices Act. According to court documents,
staff at the Attorney General’s Office
discovered more than 1 000 instances in which
the defendants illegally cross-dumped fuel at
143 locations across Texas.
