Gas pricing comes home to roost

[Charlie Smith]

The Ohio Attorney General has filed suit against 4 gas stations here in
Columbus for price gouging  :-)

The quote in the paper from the Attorney General's office was something like:

    "There's no shortage of gasoline, just a shortage of ethics"

Cheers,
 
    - Charlie
