Loveโs gas station class action lawsuit overview:ย
- Who: William Fudge filed a class action lawsuit against Loveโs Travel Stops & Country Stores Inc. d/b/a Loveโs.ย
- Why: Fudge claims consumers who purchase premium motor fuel from Loveโs gas stations receive a โsignificant amountโ of regular or mid-grade motor fuel in their first gallon pumped.
- Where: The class action lawsuit was filed in Tennessee federal court.
Consumers who purchase premium motor fuel from Loveโs gas stations regularly receive a โsignificant amountโ of regular or mid-grade motor fuel in their first gallon of fuel, a new class action lawsuit alleges.ย
Plaintiff William Fudge claims Loveโs fuel pumps, after being used to pump regular or mid-grade motor fuel, retain a โresidual amountโ of motor fuel that becomes part of the first gallon of motor fuel pumped into the next vehicle.ย
Fudge argues that, since around 70% of vehicles require regular motor fuel, consumers with vehicles requiring premium motor fuel โregularly paid the premium price for the first gallon of motor fuel for which they did not receive a gallon of premium motor fuel in return.โย
โPremium Customers, therefore, regularly paid the premium motor fuel price for a gallon that contained a significant amount of lower-grade motor fuel,โ the Loveโs class action states.ย
Fudge wants to represent individual classes of consumers from a total of 42 states who purchased premium motor fuel from a Loveโs gas station equipped with a single-nozzle fuel dispensing system after a customer who had used the same system to purchase regular or mid-grade motor fuel.ย
Loveโs has known for years that it overcharges customers who purchase premium gas, says class action
Fudge claims Loveโs has known for years that it was โretaining the benefit of selling regular or midgrade motor fuel for the price of premium motor fuel at the expense of its Premium Customers.โย
Loveโs also could easily return the money it allegedly overcharges consumers who purchase premium motor fuel, however, it chooses not to, the Loveโs class action alleges.ย
โLoveโs has made a business decision to retain the overcharge as a profit as opposed to refunding the same to Premium Customers,โ the Loveโs class action states.ย
Fudge claims Loveโs is guilty of unjust enrichment and breach of express or implied-in-fact contract. He is demanding a jury trial and requesting declaratory and injunctive relief along with an award of restitutionary damages for himself and all class members.ย
In another case involving a gas station, Arco AmPm agreed to a settlement in 2014 that resolved claims the company charged for more gas than what was actually pumped at its Oregon gas stations.ย
