The Environmental Working Group has an online petition to the US FDA regarding benzene in beverages.
Also, you can read the letter that EWG already sent to the FDA on the benzene problem. It includes a chart showing test results. A quote:
"For example, between 1995 and 2001, FDA tested 24 samples of diet soda for benzene; 19 (79 percent) were contaminated with benzene above 5 parts per billion. The average benzene level was 19 ppb, nearly four times the 5 ppb tap water. The maximum detection was 55 ppb, 11 times the tap water limit."
