The story
Michigan's federal antitrust claim against BP, Chevron, Exxon, and Shell was dismissed with prejudice on September 22, 2026.
Why it matters
Michigan sued over gasoline. Drivers in the state were the public the state said it represented.
What was claimed
The state traced a conspiracy allegedly starting in 1979 to current energy prices.
The other side
The oil companies' defense prevailed at dismissal. The September 22, 2026 order was with prejudice, so this complaint cannot be refiled as pleaded.
What it means for you
The dismissal does not set a pump price. It ends Michigan's federal antitrust claim in this case.
Bottom line
Michigan v. BP is a dismissed antitrust case.
