Not by me, I saw $3.81 a gallon, $3.85 a gallon. and the shell I went to was $3.95 but because I have the stop and shop gas rewards I got 30 cents off a gallon and ended up paying $3.65.

Price gouging is rampant. With the LIRR service down east of Ronkonkoma on Tuesday, and no substitute busing provided, private bus companies were charging more than double the LIRR fare to Riverhead!

Price gouging is a political, not an economic, term.

Do you really take a bus from Westbury to Riverhead?? Or are you just saying...

If you do, I feel for you.

No, I took LIRR to Ronkonkoma, where the 2nd train was cancelled.

It's times like these I miss not having a car and using mass transit. It's ridiculous paying 3.89 a gallon.

I came on here just to ask this....what are they thinking?
Sunoco in East Northport and Mobil in East Northport are always 50 cents higher than anyone else. And it's not like they are in such a convenient location like before an expressway ramp. Did they get inspired by the $6.50 Jones Beach bottle of water?

I saw that coupon in the circular..300 gas points would save me $4.50...the $5 off $50 coupon last week was better.
I just wasted my 100 points by using a credit card for the gas which raised the price back up 10 cents...I tried to use my shell gift card as cash but this station didn't accept it this way like the one closer to my house did.
