San Diego Gas Buys Interest in Mock

A controlling interest in Mock Resources Inc., an Irvine marketer of petroleum products, has been purchased by a subsidiary of San Diego Gas & Electric Co.

Pacific Diversified Capital Co., the acquisition arm of the San Diego utility, said Tuesday that it has acquired 51% of the stock in Mock Resources.
