If prices are jumping that much now, the Governor is spot on, and BOLD! The gas they're selling now has NOT been affected in price by any storm, terrorist action, or anything. The raising of prices to that level is nothing more than predatory price gouging, it's absolutely despicable. Good for him for having the hutzbah as Governor to protect the economic interests of The People. I salute his integrity and his will.

The usual theory of free market capitalism favors "seller can charge whatever buyers are willing to pay"over the "cost plus a fixed percentage for profit".

The problem often ignored is who sets what percentage as proper profit.
