What's the $13.9M Gasoline Price Gouging Settlement?
Have you purchased gasoline in California, and reside outside of California? You may be owed compensation in this gas price gouging class action settlement with California energy companies if you bought gas between February 18, 2015, and May 31, 2017.
A nearly $14 million class action lawsuit has been settled with gasoline energy companies who allegedly manipulated the price of gasoline in California affecting businesses and non-California residents who purchased gasoline in California during that period.
What is the Total Settlement Amount?
The total settlement amount is $13,930,000 for the portion of the settlement for non-California residents (anyone who resides outside of California, or businesses).
How Do I Qualify For a Payout?
To potentially qualify for a payout, you must have purchased gasoline (regular, mid-grade, or premium) in California at retail for your own use and not for resale between February 18, 2015, and May 31, 2017, and at the time of purchase, you must have lived outside California or been a business.

How Much Can I Get Paid?
The amount of your potential cash award will depend on how much gasoline you purchased, where you purchased it, whether you are a business or a non-California resident, and how many others qualify for a cash recovery. Payments may be less than estimated damages, and there is a minimum payment threshold of $3.00. Rough estimates suggest that average eligible businesses may receive between $580.54 and $1,161.09, and average eligible non-California residents may receive between $3.84 and $11.53.
How Do I File a Claim?
You can file a claim by submitting a claim form online or by downloading a claim form (Business or Consumer) from the settlement website and mailing the completed form to the Settlement Administrator. The deadline to make a claim is January 8, 2025.
Do I Need Proof to File a Claim?
Yes, proof may be required to file a claim form. You may be asked to provide a sworn attestment, or provide dates or proof of your identity or other supporting documentation such as receipts of purchase. Please note that third-party filers are not allowed to submit claim forms - meaning, you must file on your own, or your business's behalf.
Filing Class Action Settlement Claims
Please note that your claim form will be rejected if you submit a settlement claim for payout with any fraudulent information. By providing this information and your sworn statement of its veracity, you agree to do so under the penalty of perjury. You would also be harming others that actually qualify for the class action settlement.
