[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 543066, member: 60724"] >> BTW, this is not price gauging Actually, when it goes up from $3 to $6/gallon the same day, I kinda think it is price gouging. It's hysteria and a vicious cycle more than anything. A rumor starts that there will be rationing, high prices overnight and people hit the stations; excessively long lines form and people around the area see the lines and watch the price jump 20¢/gallon which it did most everywhere yesterday and they say "the rumor must be true", so they pile into the car and get in line. Dirt-bag salesman see the lines around the block and worry that they might run out before their next shipment and raise the prices $2 or $3/gallon. That's not true supply and demand...that is price gouging and hysteria. TJR [/QUOTE]
