Take World Series t-shirts. They charge $20 for something that probably cost em $1 or $2 to make. But no one considers that price gouging. Comparing a gas crisis to a sporting event is neither here nor there... But I suppose taken to its extreme, if a gas company could sucessfully maintain its business by selling gas for $10 a gallon in the face of other companies charging less, then I wouldn't consider it gouging. If people are too stupid to go down the street to a cheaper station, that's not the station's problem. There's a grey area if we're talking something like an immediate panic mode after a sudden earthquake, but then I'd ask what are you doing driving around in an earthquake to begin with if you're not an emergancy official...
