Already down from $3.19 to $2.99 here.... and will continue to fall.. that jack up of .75 a gallon in a day was just gouging, at least in this area... those who remained calm will buy it cheaper... those that ran around like idiots will be burning their $3.19 gas that they put into every container they could find for the next few weeks cursing themselves and gas prices continue to fall.
Your two sentences are conflicting. On the one hand you say that the price rise was gouging, then you turn around and acknowledge a large increase in demand (people running out and filling up containters). Which is it?
