The state anti-gouging law does not prevent retailers from selling gas at higher rates but bars them from charging what the governor called "unreasonable or egregious" prices.

Heh.
Just got a call from my wife's best friend. She works for an airline & was airborne when my wife left her a little warning voicemail about the lack of gas she might run into on the way home & suggested she get it as she left the airport (she's one of those "oh shit, the gas light is on" types, might run out of gas on a normal day muchless today) .
1st place she tried to stop was on Mt.Zion Blvd -- $4.99 for regular ... and a parking lot full of cops. Two of the police were working with a customer to make sure everything was documented in order to charge & eventually nail the gouging station owner. The other cops were re-directing motorists who tried to pull into Mr. $4.99 to the Racetrack just over the hill, where the price was $2.99.
Ya gotta love it when you catch cops doing the whole "serve & protect" thing
