A woman in Charlotte says she paid almost ten dollars a gallon at a Charlotte gas station.

Customers reportedly made at least 6 complaints of price gouging to the North Carolina Department of Justice.  Hopefully our nightmare is about to end as the Continental Pipeline is now flowing and is on it's way to getting back to normal.

Clarissa Rawkins reportedly she was filling up her personal car at Mobil/Queens Market on West Sugar Creek road and said it was 9.99 per gallon for the middle grade which she says was labeled "extra".

Hate to hear someone or someplace would use this time to inflate prices and take advantage of people.  But it seems like in every crisis this is attempted somewhere.  Not saying this station did it, they will have their due process.
