| Texas refineries are responsible for 16-20 percent of the nations oil. They are all shut down because of Ike. I guess any excuse to raise prices will work It's hard enough for people to try to evac from the storm without gas prices going sky high!!!!!!!!

| I read that there is going to be a price increase in gas beginning today due to the all the refineries shutting down because of Ike. Supposedly people are trying to fill up before the price increase. Here is an article. Gas prices surge as Ike moves in | ajc.com If you suspect price gouging, you can report it.

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | Ours hasn't gone insane like that. But yesterday at one station around the corner it was $3.23 and today it was $3.39. I was . It's still cheaper around other stations as far as I know, but I think they lowered it like that for Sept. 11. They don't need to raise the prices NOW for a hurricane that isn't coming until the weekend that won't really have an affect on the gas for another few weeks. They already have gas IN their tanks under ground. They don't need to raise prices SO much overnight for something that is already paid for.

| I would think $5.47 is price gouging - just a little.

| I remember on 0911 gas stations were raising their prices to try and keep people from buying it around here. There were so many people at once that they were saying they had to do something. So Im wondering if its like that.

| I think it is all "bunk"....there is no need for the prices to jump so high....I think this needs to be looked into by whoever does that sort of thing.....it seems that if there is any reason (no matter what, holiday, storm, etc)...the prices jump $1 or more....I know the refineries are in the path of the storm.....and I pray for everyone in the path...but gouging the price of gas.....shame,shame....

| I heard that on the CNN news about gas prices going up so high just today in certain areas. I just don't know how they can get away with that. You know that's probably the same gas they had in their underground tanks yesterday so I would call raising the price that high, in such a short amount of time, gouging. That is so.....sad.
