Shortages, prices.... It is going to be a nightmare

September 19, 2016 – WLOS — RALEIGH, N.C. — South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has issued another executive order to make it easier to keep gasoline supplies flowing to the state following a pipeline spill in Alabama.

The order declares that an emergency exists and waives some federal weight, size and length limitations allowing larger trucks on the road to haul fuel. The order also extends one issued last week waiving limits on the number of hours that commercial drivers can be behind the wheel.

Report gas prices that seem unreasonably high, Attorney General Roy Cooper urged North Carolina consumers Monday.

He did the same in an interview with News 13 over the weekend.

“Consumers are our eyes and ears on the ground and we want to know if you spot potential gas price gouging,” Cooper said in a press release.
North Carolina’s law against price gouging is currently in effect due to limited supplies of gasoline caused by a leak in a pipeline that carries gas from the Gulf Coast to North Carolina and other southeastern states.

As of 11 a.m. on Monday, more than 400 consumers had filed complaints online or via a toll-free hotline to report potential gas price gouging to the Consumer Protection Division.

Price gouging—or charging too much in times of crisis—is against North Carolina law when a disaster, an emergency or an abnormal market disruption for critical goods and services is declared or proclaimed by the governor. The law applies to all levels of the supply chain, from the manufacturer to the distributor to the retailer.

The price gouging law is currently in effect due to a market disruption for gasoline declared late Friday.

North Carolina law (Chapter 75-38) defines price gouging as charging “a price that is unreasonably excessive under the circumstances.” There is no set price or percentage increase defined in the law so the law can apply to different products and services in times of crisis.

In this case, the law has in effect specifically to prevent gas price gouging.

You can report price gouging three ways:

• File a complaint online at ncdoj.gov.

• Mail a complaint to: Consumer Protection Division

Attorney General’s Office

Mail Service Center 9001

Raleigh, NC 27699-9001

• Call 1-877-5-NO-SCAM (toll-free within North Carolina) or 919-716-6000.

The Departmenr of Justice says it’s helpful if you can provide receipts if you purchased gas, or photos of gas station price signs you spot.

The DoJ’s Consumer Protection Division follows up on complaints of potential price gouging to determine if the law has been violated. It uses information provided by consumers, including first-hand reports, receipts, and photos of gas station price signs.
