California V. Vitol Class Action Settlement

Who Qualifies and How Much Can You Claim?

Anyone who purchased gasoline in California between February 20, 2015, and November 10, 2015, can file a claim. Payments will not vary depending on the amount each class member spent on gasoline during that time.

To qualify, you need the following:

• California Residency: You need to have been a California resident between February 20, 2015, and November 10, 2015.
• Purchased Gas in Southern California: You need to have purchased gas in the following Southern California counties between February 20, 2015, and November 10, 2015: 
  • Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange, Riverside, Kern, San Bernardino, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Imperial, and San Luis Obispo.

Please note, that if you are a nonresident who purchased gas on behalf of a business or an out-of-state visitor who was in California and purchased gas between February 18, 2015, and May 31, 2017, you may be eligible to receive compensation.

If you fit the above criteria, you can submit a claim.

The terms of the settlement and qualification standards are set forth in the class settlement notice and related paperwork.  Please consult those documents to understand whether you qualify and what steps you must take to submit a claim.  This page is not intended to provide legal advice.
