The owners of 11Big Willy’s gas stations including one in Whitney have agreed to reimburse customers who were overcharged in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey after the Texas Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division received complaints from consumers who paid as much as $4.99 per gallon for regular unleaded gas during the Harvey state of disaster.

Sun Macro Corporation, Mr. Group Inc. and Star Impex Inc. will reimburse eligible consumers who paid $3.99 per gallon or more for regular unleaded grade gasoline from Aug. 31, 2017, through Sept. 6, 2017 at Big Willy’s #15 at 707 East Jefferson Ave. in Whitney and 10 other stations, the attorney general’s office said.

Claim forms are

and will be accepted through Jan. 31.

“My office is sending a powerful message that taking advantage of Texans during a declared disaster such as Hurricane Harvey is against the law and we will always do everything in our power to hold violators accountable,” Attorney General Paxton said.

“This latest settlement ensures that aggrieved consumers are repaid if they were victims of price gouging at the pumps.”

The Category 4 hurricane hit Texas late in the morning on Aug. 25 between Aransas and Port O’Connor, causing an estimated $125 billion in damage, mainly from record rainfall and flooding in the Houston area.

As the hurricane approached the Texas coast, Gov. Greg Abbott declared a state of disaster, invoking a provision of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act that bars price gouging on such necessities as gasoline.
