Price Gouging 1500 Miles Away
This morning I filled my Camry at a local gas station for $2.63-9. This afternoon I drove by again and it was $2.71-9! Up 8 cents in a few hours while the Hurricane was still going! Un- fucking-believable! At least I got in while the getting was good (relatively speaking, of course!)

1. Within 5 miles of my house this morning I saw
regular unleaded at 2.69, 2.59, 2.51, and 2.49 a gallon.

I live in Houston, and I know plenty of Pukes that are pissed off about this lunacy too.

7. Central Pennsylvania, no real change
At least the Harrisburg vicinity. Prices aren't any worse than they were last week.

Guess they're working in stages...will probably go up by mid-week here.
