    Price-gouging is a very sensitive subject. Just because one gas station is charging 10%, 20% or even 30% more then others in the same area doesn't mean it is price-gouging? Before you report price-gouging check with websites like Gasbuddies.com to determine the national average price and your local price. Clearly if you paid 2 or 3 times the local price you were gouged. If you pay 50% or more above the average price it may be harder to determine price-gouging. If you feel you were significantly over charged for gas then save your receipt and contact your State Attorney General.
