***Reports are coming in from all over the state - prices have spiked as much as $1.00 a gallon in a matter of hours. ***

I’m sure glad I filled up my trucks and cars last week for $3.49 a gallon. It is right now $3.79 and going up.

Today, the only station I saw gas at $3.59 had cars backed way up waiting for gas.

I just wish I had filled up my tractor and gas cans also.

Where are you finding gas so cheap? I haven't seen $3.79 since last April or early May.

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.
