CHICAGO -- The owners of 17 BP-branded gas stations/convenience stores in metropolitan Chicago and northwestern Indiana have brought a lawsuit against BP for failing to comply with the Illinois Franchise Disclosure Act (IFDA) and basic contract law, essentially contesting the accuracy of fluctuating gasoline prices passed along to consumers. On Tuesday, attorneys filed an amended claim for the 17 stations.

The plaintiffs bring a variety of legal claims, including BP's sale of gas station and c-store franchises without complying with the consumer protection provisions of the IFDA.
