AG's office sues Irving firm over gas additive

From Staff Reports
The Texas attorney general’s office on Wednesday sued an Irving company that marketed a gasoline additive it claimed would boost gas mileage and save consumers money.
At an Austin news conference, Attorney General Greg Abbott said he had obtained a temporary restraining order and asset freeze against BioPerformance Inc. The company advertised its products through the Internet and seminars held in Texas and other states.
At BioPerformance seminars, interested parties are encouraged to become “dealers” at startup costs of between $300 and $500, but promised the chance to earn sports cars, mansions and luxury vacations. Mr. Abbott said financial success in the plan depended on how many other people a member could recruit to become dealers.
An attempt to contact BioPerformance president and owner Lowell Mims on Wednesday revealed that the firm’s Irving telephone number had been disconnected. http://www.wfaa.com/sharedcontent/dws/bus/stories/051806dnmetagsuit.4e76d126.htmlLowell Mims:
