Detroit Debut for Discount Gas Network as Supply-Law Dispute Grows

Freedom Fuel Network opens its first location outside New Jersey and Pennsylvania in Detroit, offering $3.47 per gallon, while a related civil case over unpaid fuel brings scrutiny of its supplier KRSM and Syed Kazmi. Mansfield Oil alleges KRSM underpaid for roughly $4 million of fuel and that a required $2.75 million balance in an M&T Bank account is now owned by a Kazmi-related entity called Universal, prompting discovery and potential court action; KRSM says it remains in compliance and plans to appeal. Freedom Fuel had promoted discounts with President Trump’s endorsement as it expands.
