I estimated price gouging for the day to be somewhere near $5.25 or $5.50 a gallon. Given the capacity of the refineries, at the moment $4.25 to $4.50 seems about right, depending on the company they receive their gas from. In about 4 weeks I see the price of gasoline going below $3.00 again. I am guessing $2.90 a gallon by late October because the price of a barrel of oil has dipped below $100. First time in a long time for that. <em>John's last blog post: <a href="http://www.johntracy.com/blog/2008/09/14/tweets-from-2008-09-14/" rel="nofollow">Tweets from 2008-09-14</a></em> Yeah, this is nowhere near price gouging.

I don't think they're price gouging, the price is changing so fast that a lot of stations haven't had time to change the signs. The panic over fuel supplies is making all the suppliers freak out. I've asked a few station owners how much they make per gallon and they've all said it was under a nickel. Ask a few of them yourself. Democrats like high prices on the necessities because people will clammor for the government to do something and it will. It will come in and take over which will make things much worse.
