Freedom Fuel Expands to Detroit Amid Lawsuit Over Supplier's Unpaid Fuel
The Freedom Fuel Network has opened its first gas station outside of New Jersey and Pennsylvania in Detroit. The new location offers regular unleaded at $3.47 per gallon, significantly below Michigan’s average price of $4.09 according to GasBuddy data. A lawsuit is ongoing between Mansfield Oil Company of Gainesville, Georgia, and Syed Kazmi's company KRSM over unpaid fuel costs totaling around $4 million. The suit alleges that some of the fuel was sold by KRSM to Freedom Fuel stations without payment. A recent court filing claims KRSM has failed to maintain a required balance in an M&T Bank account as ordered by the court, and there are concerns about potential fund dissipation. Freedom Fuel is not directly involved in the lawsuit but faces indirect implications due to its association with Kazmi's companies.
