Hey commie, this is not price gouging, its called fair market price for the product. When something is more rare, its more expensive. Gasoline is rare in the northeast right now, that makes it more expensive. Government telling indpendant business owners how they can price their fuel is communistic and is not part of a FREE REPUBLIC.

I agree that the business owners should try to hold the cost down as much as possible and do the morally correct thing, but the government has no legal right to order them to drop the price.

If they are so concerned why don't the government bring in trucks with gas and give it away or sell it at a much cheaper price than the businesses and take away their business. Oh thats right, because they don't really care about you or me.


gouging in Florida, after a hurricane, is illegal
