To help protect motorists, GasBuddy has added a new feature that enables drivers in hurricane-affected areas to take and submit photos of station prices that appear to be abnormally high (i.e. more than $1.50 above what would be considered “normal” for the area). Areas affected include Florida, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas.
Price ‘gouging’ in times of distress is illegal. We want to ensure that drivers who are impacted by the hurricanes do not pay more than they have to.
