Gas hits $15/gallon in New York
New York fuel "panic" grows even as ports open, reserves tapped
"Craigslist users started offering gasoline for as much as $15 a gallon to motorists and homeowners not wishing to brave the lines."

It's funny how higher prices that SUPPLY the market with a desired commodity is called "gouging".
By funny, of course, I mean pathetic.
Fools, would you prefer high priced gas/food? Or none at all?

I've got no problem with this.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution,
and unacknowledged by our laws;
giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
Thats why you buy gas before the storm. Living in S. Florida, anytime there is a named storm I always gas up my cars and fill my cans. At worst, I just put it back in my car once it is clear the storm won't impact us.
You should always have canned food and water anyways.
Unfortunately, most people live in the moment.

Good. Hopefully, they won't get arrested. Maybe then those poor souls can get some relief!
As soon as the word spreads that you can make huge profits by selling gas in NY and NJ, the gas shortage will be over.

Whenever, therefore, a lie has built unto itself a throne, let it be assailed without pity and without regret, for under the domination of a falsehood, no one can prosper.
I'm in NY, and I'd like some $15 gas. That way I can drive to church and not worry that I'm using up the little I have left tomorrow.
Folks, sh*t's about to hit the fan here real quick if we dont have relief. this is why we need to bomb and occupy every Arab country to protect our interests, damn near civil unrest if we dont get our fuel
If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
Last time I was in New York , I probably paid, $24 for a high end draft beer , pack of cigarettes and a tip, what does gas normally run there ? 4.99 ?

Price controls don't work, but this is an emergency, so we have to make an exception. #faultylogic
Individuals may be asking that much. The few stations operating have had what they are allowed to charge capped.
