Nah, all the price gouging I've witnessed started soon after Biden was sworn in.

Have you seen the price of gas cans? A 5 gallon plastic can is $25!


Lowes in Mobile got me. Had buddies begging me to bring them some bootleg gas when I came back.

I’m honestly surprised she spelled gauging correctly. She probably googled it.

After April 27, 2011 one of the stores near our house was selling bags of ice for $9 a bag. I didn't buy it then, and I haven't been to that store since.

Bought 2 oil filters for my whole house generator from "dealer" in Lafayette after providing exact part number during phone call and being told to hurry because they couldn't hold for long. I drive there from Baton Rouge and they sold me two Fram filters for $34. Looked online after and those bitches might work on my genset but are readily available for $3.88 @ Walmart and Amazon. I was such a dumb arse. Luckily another dealer in Lafayette sold me the appropriate parts for reasonanlble price.

Harbor Freight? Price gouging? Is nothing sacred anymore?

Why would it be price gouging when gas deliveries aren't regularly made? Thank Biden for shutting down Keystone. That administration wants you and I to evacuate in an electric rickshaw that will go no further than 100 miles

I'll agree with you there.

But I'm not familiar where LA 1 intersects with Blount Road.

Let's don't get too surprised...

I wish someone would raise gasoline prices high enough the lines would end.

If I had a station I would have a couple of pumps priced $2 a gallon higher than the others. That would give people an opportunity to pay to avoid the lines.

Sounds like it was probably non-ethanol gas, which is always more expensive. Especially at rural gas stations
