    I agree its morally wrong to do it, but if gas is expensive at one station wouldn't the market/consumers decide that it is better to go somewhere else and find gas cheaper there.

    In the end, the gas station owner will realize that price gouging isn't necessarily better for his business, and will drop prices, if enough people don't go to his gas station.

    Yeah but usually when one station raises their prices others follow suit and raise theirs.

    Uh, I just read your first post, and it's still not a reason to be a jerk.

    The cost of living is rising so much in large part BECAUSE of the high gas prices. And the hurricane has a heck of a lot to do with the spike in those prices.

    Keep the Hangout Civil! :D
