BP Products North America Inc includes anyone who purchased gas in the states of Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin or Ohio from August 13, 2012, through September 7, 2012 from certain BP Retail Outlets. If you purchased gas and experienced problems or had to make repairs you might be entitled to a nice cash payment as a result of the BP Tainted Gas Class Lawsuit Settlement.
