I was watching coverage today at lunch and they have 1-800- numbers you can
call to report price gouging, and from what I understand legal action can
occur via the attorney general. Sorry for the OT post.

It's easy to explain. Where I live, the gas price did not move - $1.69.
But 21 miles the road, every gas station in town raised their prices at the
same time to as high as $4.00. The difference? Up the road is a more
populated area. Folks panicked, and supply and demand kicked in! Back
down
home, nobody panicked, no run on the gas. While the stations are being
opportunists (I don't condone this), the American public bears some
responsibility to keep their heads. In this case they simply reacted with
a
knee-jerk and it cost them - in their wallet. Foolish!
