Shell Lists Stations Given Bad Fuel

The Times-Picayune reports that Shell has released a list of stations that possibly received bad fuel. The list, however, does not appear to be available online or at Motiva's web site.

Louisiana Attorney General Charles Foti's office refused requests to release information it had concerning locations that might have sold the bad gasoline. Initially, a spokeswoman said the attorney general would not release the list because of "attorney client privilege." Later, in denying a request filed under the Louisiana Public Records Act for a list of stations "where . . . problem gasoline was sold," Isabel Wingerter, chief of Foti's consumer protection section, wrote, "We have no conclusive list that identifies those stations."
