I went out and filled up my car knowing that the prices would rise.

I’m hesitant to call $1 a gallon price gouging.

I think it is wrong to hold life and limb over a person’s head to get a higher price. An ambulance coming on the scene of an accident and refusing to help until a person signs over property would be an example. That is price gouging to me.

Isn’t that how Crasius got rich in ancient Rome? He used his private fire department.

Gouging is what happened in 9-11-2001. Gas went up almost three dollars a gallon before the afternoon.
