Um, that chart is pretty hard to argue, even if he did work for Exon. Now why don't you show some proof of gouging or apologize? You do understand capitalism and that old supply/demand model?

Would someone please provide a quantitative definition of price gouging so that we can all recognize it when it occurs?

Price Gouging is defined as a profit made by an evil Oil Company. As opposed to profits Apple makes on iPods.

That would be as difficult as providing such a definition for "cheating," "stealing," or "exploiting." But the inability to quantify the phenomenon doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, just that its dimension is qualitative.
