Agree. Back during the period after Hurricane Sandy, some gas stations were charging $6.00 per gallon. Some called that gouging.
But with so few trucks getting through with gas, that is a price which the market came to which necessarily kept people from hoarding if they did not need it. High prices serve a purpose during times like that and I saw it first-hand.
What high prices accomplish is ensuring that the wealthy get what they want while the do without regardless of need. That’s why left wing elites like high gas prices.

Same after Katrina. We were traveling to the FL panhandle immediately post-Katrina. We were glad to pay for gas at that price level. It isn’t gouging unless there is a monopoly.
