Are our local gasoline distributors and retailers price gouging? Earlier this week we traveled to Mooresville, Avon, Plainfield and Indianapolis. The highest gas price we saw was $3.25. I filled up in Plainfield for $3.17 a gallon. Then back to Anderson where the price was still at $3.55 or higher. Come on, people, I can see a couple cents difference, but 30 cents or more!

Did Hurricane Ike come through Anderson and I missed it? Or are we connected to Atlanta or Knoxville pipelines and can’t get enough gas delivered? Can someone give me a rational explanation for the gouging (oops, I meant challenging elevated pricing).
