gas prices gouging evacuation problems

There was a gas price difference of 60 cents a gallon and drivers were questioning why. Cars at the Chevron were honking in some type of protest. I'm not sure if police were called in but there was one San Patricio County Police Officer who did snap a photo of the posted sign price at the Valero Store.

Oh, so what gas prices went up. If the demand is high people are still going to be paying whatever the price is to get to safety. Also, I'm pretty sure the oil refineries aren't going to be producing anything so suck it up and cover some real news.

The point is they were price gouging. Kudos to the person that reported them to the Atty. Generals Office!
