I reported my local station. If enough people report their stations we just might force a change.

I hope you don't take offense to this, but please stop abusing the system. That website was setup to report legitimate gouging. I've seen $3 gas in CA up recently as three weeks ago. Don't overburden an already strapped system by complaining just to hear yourself complain.
I don't take offense and understand your position. I just don't think what's happening nationwide is legal...but that's my opinion. I just want to make sure the proper government groups are made aware and I'll live with their decision. I just really don't think what's happening is right.

The website was not intended for us in CA paying .20 more than the national average. I understand your frustration.
Edited to add: I'm sure if you drove around a little, you could find gas cheaper. I paid $2.79 yesterday at Chevron, they are far from the cheapest guys in town.
The problem is the national average is gouged...again, imho.
