Price Gouging?

Are gas stations on the East End gouging customers, especially the Coastal station on Three Mile Road in East Hampton with their $5.09 a gallon gasoline? State Assemblyman Fred Thiele sure thinks so: "I understand that things are going to be more expensive in the Hamptons," he said. "But when the price difference becomes more than 20 cents a gallon, that's price gouging." [New York Post]
