From Bert Brantley, gov's office spokesman:
The price gouging statute goes into effect upon signing of the executive order, so anything from earlier today would not be subject to sanctions under this statute.
Remember that just because prices go up doesnt mean there is gouging going on. As long as the retailer can show the wholesale price correlates to the retail price, theres no problem.
UPDATE: This is the telephone number to report gas price gouging, if you kept the receipt: 800-869-1123, courtesy The AJC.
If you didn't really need gas, but bought it anyway, save the phone call and punch yourself in the face.

So Cousin Sonny's new anti-gouging law is saying that it is fine and dandy for wholesalers to gouge. And as long as wholesalers are gouging, it's perfectly alright for retailers to gouge. But if they don't all gouge us at the same time, they are anti-American and anti-Saudi Arabian. Which just happens to be the Nationality of the 9/11/01 hijackers.
But if someone gouged before midnight September 12 it is patriotically okay.
I get it!
Funny that gas prices here in Texas, where the storm was, are totally unchanged. . .
