Motorists Furious Over Gas Prices
COLUMBIA — Angry motorists called in more than 3,000 complaints of gasoline price gouging to the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office since Hurricane Ike first threatened to make landfall.
Now, state officials have to decide what is criminal and what simply is a painful part of doing business.
There was a report on WBT 1100AM this morning that there was a gas station in North Carolina charging $7.32 on Saturday. I’m sure that most of the gas stations were charging honestly, but I still believe that the wholesalers supplying them were unreasonably raising their costs to the stations.
