AI fuel-pricing software triggered illegal gas price collusion, California lawsuit alleges. A federal class-action suit accuses Marathon, Circle K, and software company Kalibrate of violating the state's new 2026 algorithmic antitrust law. Gas station operators throughout California are using artificial intelligence software to illegally coordinate fuel costs and artificially inflate prices at the pump, a federal class-action lawsuit alleges. The complaint, filed Monday in California's Eastern District, accuses major fuel retailers including Marathon and Circle K of violating state antitrust regulations through their use of Kalibrate, a global fuel-pricing software system. Plaintiffs in the suit characterize the automated platform as the "central nervous system" of an illegal conspiracy designed to eliminate retail price competition among competing stations. According to the filing, Kalibrate's algorithm coordinates elevated pricing structures and actively discourages gas station owners from undercutting local competitors, warning users that lower prices could trigger a market "downward spiral." The software promises subscribers they can maximize both sales volume and profit margins simultaneously by utilizing automated, cooperative price adjustments. The legal challenge relies on a recently enacted state law, Assembly Bill 325, which took effect on Jan. 1, 2026. The legislation amended California's Cartwright Act to explicitly prohibit the use of shared pricing algorithms to fix market rates - a regulatory update originally introduced to combat similar software tools used by corporate landlords to set residential rents. Data cited in the lawsuit indicates that when multiple gas stations in a single geographic area utilize these algorithmic tools, local fuel prices can spike by an average of 4.5 percent. The plaintiffs also highlight a specific "restoration" feature within the software, which allegedly permits operators to systematically initiate or participate in synchronized, market-wide price hikes. Furthermore, the suit alleges that Kalibrate has improperly shared non-public, proprietary pricing data from existing users with prospective corporate clients to demonstrate the software's coordination capabilities. California motorists already face the highest fuel prices in the nation, driven in part by a state gas tax of 70.9 cents per gallon. The lawsuit underscores the severe financial impact on consumers, noting that every single-cent increase at the pump extracts an additional $134 million annually from California drivers.
NM health agency says adult cigarette use down as vaping rises. Posted Monday, June 1, 2026 10:24 am Source NM Staff While cigarette use has declined in New Mexico, the state health department reported on Friday that residents are vaping more, "trading one public health risk for another," according to a news release. Between 2022 and 2024, the percentage of New Mexico adults smoking cigarettes dropped from 15% to 11.7%, while the use of e-cigarettes increased from 7.3% to 8.2% during the same time period. However, both cigarette and vaping use have dropped among high school students during recent years: from 8.3% in 2019 to 3.3% in 2023 for cigarettes, and from 33.4% to 18.8% in the same time period for e-cigarettes. Middle school students' smoking of e-cigarette use also dropped from 15.1% in 2019 to state health officials characterized as a "record low" of 10.4% in 2023. "New Mexicans have made progress quitting smoking, but it remains a significant public health problem," NMDOH's Nicotine Use Prevention and Control office Director Anthony Garcia said in a statement. "More people are vaping, especially youth, because it's sold as a safer choice to cigarettes, but e-cigarettes contain toxic chemicals linked to cancer along with brain, cardiovascular, and respiratory harm." The agency cited data from the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids that says tobacco use kills approximately 2,600 New Mexicans each year and causes close to 24% of cancer deaths in the state. State lawmakers on the interim Tobacco Settlement Revenue Oversight Committee met last week to discuss more comprehensive strategies for tackling youth nicotine use. In March, state Attorney General Raúl Torrez announced a lawsuit against Circle K and other retailers that sell vapes, accusing them of selling vapes in colorful packaging to subliminally advertise to children. The health department cited services to help quit that are available by calling 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669) or 1-855-DEJELO-YA (1-855-335-3569). Services are available online at QuitNowNM.org or DejeloYaNM.org. Gov & Politics, Health, vaping Other items that may interest you

IONNA, the charging network founded by eight of the world's top automakers, including BMW, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis and Toyota, announced a landmark strategic partnership with leading convenience and mobility brand Circle K to significantly expand access to high-powered EV charging across the United States. The collaboration is centered around a strategic ambition to expand to more than 350 sites featuring Rechargeries @ Circle K, combining IONNA's charging technology and driver-first experience with Circle K's nationwide footprint. IONNA, which will assume operation of sites across Circle K's existing U.S. charging portfolio, will rapidly convert and upgrade approximately 85 existing Circle K charging sites. Additionally, IONNA will accelerate new deployments at premium, high-traffic Circle K locations where no chargers currently exist. The first Rechargeries @ Circle K will begin serving customers by the end of 2026, followed by additional scale in 2027. "We are honored that Circle K has recognized IONNA as a leader in the industry and entrusted us to serve their customers with the same care and commitment to excellence that they show now," said Aaron Wolff, COO of IONNA. "Circle K's scale, customer focus, and quality of location make them an ideal partner as we rapidly expand high-power charging where drivers already want to stop." With more than 7,300 stores in the U.S., Circle K is known for value, quality products and fast, friendly service at well-maintained sites with modern stores and forecourts. Circle K offers a wide selection of snacks, fresh grab-and-go food, packaged and dispensed beverages, everyday convenience items and car wash options at select locations. "At Circle K, our ambition is to make EV charging as easy and convenient as possible for our customers," said Håkon Stiksrud, VP of Global eMobility at Circle K. "Partnering with IONNA enables us to scale high-power charging quickly at locations drivers already trust - combining fast, reliable charging with a great food and beverage experience. This partnership is an important step in preparing for the future, delivering not just charging, but a complete retail experience that supports our customers on the go." Under joint stewardship, drivers at Rechargeries @ Circle K can recharge both their EVs and themselves, with IONNA delivering charging speeds of up to 400 kW, plus both NACS and CCS access, and Circle K having road-trip favorites that fuel drivers on their journey. The partnership advances IONNA's mission to build 30,000 high-power charging bays by 2030.

New Mexico AG sues retailers for youth vape addiction. New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez filed a lawsuit against Circle K and other major retailers, alleging violations of the state's Unfair Practices Act for marketing vapes and e-cigarettes in ways that appeal to children. The suit claims the products' colorful packaging and sweet flavors are designed to attract minors, contributing to some of the highest youth nicotine usage rates in the country. Torrez seeks damages, including civil penalties of $5,000 per violation, following his previous $375 million win against Meta for similar violations. Health experts and school officials cited in the lawsuit highlight the dangers of adolescent vaping, including addiction, lung damage, increased risk-taking behavior, and mental health impacts. The Attorney General also said the presence of online "straw purchases" that funnel e-cigarettes to minors, comparing the ongoing harm to historic tobacco-related public health crises.
