It may or may not be price gouging. However, I would really love to know how the BP station down the street from me can jack up the pump price SEVENTEEN CENTS overnight. That's the biggest jump I've seen since Katrina hit. Someone please tell me how that's not gouging. Compare that to the Exxon station across the street that raised it's price five cents. I'm having a real hard time understanding how that's not gouging.

I'm having a hard time understanding how the BP station did any gouging at that price? If gas was $.12 a gal cheaper across the street, how did the BP station sell any? Why would anyone pay $.12 a gal more than they had to? If they did, they must have wanted to. Why?

I don't know the answer to that. However, while sitting at a stoplight next to the BP, I saw two idiots pull in there and gas up. What idiots. They must have a LOT of disposable income. I never said they were gouging. Just making an observation on one of the biggest jumps in pump prices I've ever seen. It was stunning on the face of it. BTW, I don't gas up at BP or Exxon.
