New Jersey, which sued 24 businesses for price-gouging after Hurricane Sandy, reached its first two settlements of lawsuits, Attorney General Jeffrey Chiesa said in a statement.
C.S. George & Sons Inc., which runs George’s Gulf Station in Clifton, and Shiv Shivam Inc., which does business as Lukoil in Piscataway, will pay a total of $46,000 to resolve claims that they excessively raised gas prices after Governor Chris Christie declared a state of emergency, Chiesa said.
