Gas price gouging in Louisville! Retail is now nearly $1/gal over RBOB price
Over the last few years, gas in Louisville typically averaged 40-50 cents over RBOB (wholesale) prices.

However, for the last few days, the prices around town have averaged 80-90 cents higher.

Right now, RBOB prices are about $3.08/gal yet most retailers in town are still well over $3.90/gal...with most in my area at $3.98 or $3.99.

Nothing but pure price gouging.

1. How progressive is Kentucky's Sec of State's office?
If it's anything like Georgia's Bureau of Consumer Affairs (under our Sec of State's purview) - they will get slapped and punched with fines in two shakes.

2. I'd be shocked, literally, if anyone in the state gov't is even aware of the term RBOB
sad.

3. In KY, consumer protection is under the attorney general's office
Jack Conway - a Dem.
The Sec. of State is a repub - Trey Grayson.
