SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Nearly two dozen gas station owners in California are suing Shell Oil Co., Chevron Corp. and Saudi Refining Inc..
The gas station owners claim the big oil companies conspired to fix prices for 23,000 franchise owners nationwide.
The case filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco and seeks class-action status.
It is similar to one California station owners filed in 2004 — a case that was tossed out the U.S. Supreme Court.
Like the previous case, the new plaintiffs say chairmen of the three oil companies met privately nearly every month starting in March 1996 for the “purpose of forming and organizing a combination.”

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
