Breaking News: $6.00 gas now being charged here in Florida. What are the rest of you fools paying?

$3.39 here in SE Wisconsin. I had heard on the news that the highest registerd price for gas was in Cali at $4.49.

why? because without the non-selfish help from our fellow american brothers Germany would be a free country, not still occupied by so-called Alloes ! we would have a peace contract and so on and on... maybe you as a German (?) should search for real information.. and always remember: the winner writes the history books...

Get used to $8 to $10 gas, by the end of March.

While europe is going be be paying near $3.50/liter. :D

Price Gouging Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Price Gouging?
Florida Statute 501.160 states that during a state of emergency, it is unlawful to sell, lease, offer to sell, or offer for lease essential commodities, dwelling units, or self-storage facilities for an amount that grossly exceeds the average price for that commodity during the 30 days before the declaration of the state of emergency, unless the seller can justifying the price by showing increases in its prices or market trends. Examples of necessary commodities are food, ice, gas, and lumber.

2. How do I know if I’m being price gouged?
The law compares the reported price of the commodity or service during the state of emergency to the average price charged over the 30-day period prior to the declared state of emergency. If there is a “gross disparity” between the prior price and the current charge, it is considered price gouging.

3. What is covered under the Price Gouging Statute?
The Price Gouging Statute covers only essential commodities. A “commodity” means any good, service, material, merchandise, supplies, equipment, resources, or other article of commerce, and includes, without limitation, food, water, ice, chemicals, petroleum products, and lumber necessary for consumption or use as a direct result of the emergency. The law also requires those selling goods and services to possess an occupational license. Examples of non-essential items luxury items are alcoholic beverages and cigarettes.

4. What evidence do I need to help enforce the Price Gouging Statute?
If you suspect price gouging, obtain as much information as possible in the form of estimates, invoices, receipts or bills. When comparing products, note as much information as possible, including the product name, size or quantity, manufacturer, item number and unit price. For lumber products, note the grade, thickness and quality. If it is a service such as storage or towing, note the per-mile (or other distance) charge, removal charges, per-day storage charges and other charges such as security, clean up or other “add-ons.” Report this information to the Attorney General’s Price Gouging Hotline at 1-866-966-7226. You may also report violations online at [link to myfloridalegal.com] or mail documents to the following address:

Office of the Attorney General
The Capitol, PL-01
Tallahassee, FL 32399-1050

Please remember to include your name, the name of the company or individual, and a complaint number, if you received one.

5. How can I avoid becoming a victim of price gouging?
Plan ahead. Prepare for a disaster before it happens. Always have the following items on hand:

* Five gallons of drinking water per person in your household
* At least two working flashlights
* A portable radio
* A telephone with a cord – If the electrical power is lost, a cordless telephone will not work
* An ample supply of batteries to power these and other items
* A full tank of propane and charcoal if you have a barbeque grills
* Non-perishable food items
* Formula and diapers, if you have young children in the home

Although not essential, board games, books and playing cards might be helpful to entertain young children. Additionally, do not forget to make plans to care for any pets.

If government officials recommend evacuation, it would be wise to heed that advice. Mandatory evacuations mean just that. Gas tanks should be filled in advance in case evacuation is advised.

After the danger has passed, obtain estimates for clean-up and repairs in writing from licensed contractors. Check with county or city contractor’s licensing board for recommendations and demand proof of proper licensing. Don’t allow anyone to bully you or force you into making a quick decision. Never hesitate to call the local law enforcement if necessary.

Worst thing is it drives up the price of everything.

Wow, I would have imagined Flex Fuel to be much cheaper. I mean, that was the whole point of Flex Fuel, wasnt it?

Yeah, we also pay to import sand into Kuwait, uh because there is a huge sand shortage?

At least they are spending our children's future money well, right?

Amazing reply! Win!

Its unlikely. Even in '08, the national average peaked at $4.11, which roughly corresponded to an oil price peak at $145/barrel. Today, oil closed at $106 per barrel. Just from that, its pretty clear that we have a LONG way to go before we see $6/gallon as a national average rather than just opportunistic price gouging by a handful of stations. I paid $3.42 this morning.

Honestly, I don't think we'll see $6 gallon for quite a long time. The US economy simply can't sustain it, because most of the people are barely getting by as it is. You'll see demand destruction accelerate as prices continue to rise. I'd honestly be shocked if it hits $4.50 and even if it does, it'll drop like a brick soon afterward.

I paid $3.71 in South Florida.

Haven't seen anything over $4.

$1.21 per litre = ? per gal.

3.45 in West Central Indiana (Terre Haute)

$3.85 Charlotte, NC

I ordered a solar car 20 years ago. Still waiting for GM to deliver it. Maybe a few more wars.

I think maybe we should nuke Germany...

...just kidding. Luv ya'all. Sorry for truly being a bad country.

Well here in the sunny U.K, we're paying around £1.40 per litre - that works out to be:

4.54 litres in a US gallon

4.54 * £1.40 = £6.35600 per gallon

£6.35 = $9.95 PER U.S GALLON in the UK.

Stop complaining!
