Raising the price of gasoline by a few bucks per gallon on people who desperately need it to heat their homes is screwed up.

Quite frankly, you are clueless. Keeping the price as it was before the storm is the best way to ensure there will be little gas to buy at that price. Out-of-state and out-of-region companies have absolutely no economic incentive to ship gasoline to the affected areas, because they would have to eat the transit costs versus just keeping it local.

Ask someone needing to fuel his generator whether he would rather pay six bucks a gallon to have gas - without limits - or four bucks a gallon to not have any gas. It is the liberal economic mindset that demands both adequate supply and artificially-low price in this kind of situation, in complete denial of basic economics.

Hard to take you seriously when you don’t even know THEY ARE ALLOWED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES.

You are a blithering idiot.
