"...I posted this on another thread and believe it to my core:

There is no moral difference between the bastards jacking up gas prices on inventory already purchased and the bastards looting in the streets of New Orleans...."

I am in total agreement. With the situation being what it is, who's to say that tacking on a "little extra",(aka: gouging), won't be noticed? When things calm dawn, how fast do you think it's going to take the pump price to go back to the pre-Katrina level? IMPO, not until November or December, if then. Having said all that, the whole, bad, nightmare sucks to the max.

"I am in total agreement."

You're also wrong. When gas prices go up, the stores that don't raise their prices lose money they will need to restock. With the higher prices coming, they're going to need that extra "profit" to stay in business.
