It\u2019s the first time the national average hit $3 since 2014.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In some areas, prices have increased more dramatically, leading to questions of price gouging. For states that have laws against price gouging, most of them don\u2019t recognize a possible violation until the state has declared an emergency. As of Wednesday afternoon, at least four states have declared an emergency surrounding the pipeline shutdown. They are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tallahassee.com\/story\/news\/local\/state\/2021\/05\/11\/florida-gas-state-of-emergency-ron-desantis-pipeline-hacking-national-guard-price-gouging\/5046374001\/\">Florida<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/us\/live-news\/us-gas-demand-hack-05-11-21\/h_aec99324453877809802aa2247db9403\">Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While businesses are permitted to charge higher prices in response to market forces, they aren\u2019t allowed in states with price gouging laws to increase prices excessively to take advantage of a emergency such as the pipeline shutdown, a hurricane or the pandemic. Different states have different benchmarks for what\u2019s excessive, but often, price increases of 20 percent may qualify as price gouging.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Gas prices on Wednesday were highest out West and in Illinois, followed by states such as Pennsylvania, New York, Georgia and Colorado, according to AAA. You can look up the average in your state <a href=\"https:\/\/gasprices.aaa.com\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Consumers who believe gas stations in their state are price gouging can report the issue to their state attorney general. Here\u2019s the information you should provide:<\/p>\n<ol><li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The name of state and the address.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The price and the type of gasoline.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The date and time.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Photo evidence.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol><p dir=\"ltr\">In part because of the shutdown and in part because some consumers fear shortages, more drivers are filling up to guard against an empty tank. Numerous states are reporting huge numbers of gas stations have run out of gas, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gasbuddy.com\/go\/colonial-pipeline-shutdown-fuel-outages-by-state\">according to GasBuddy<\/a>. Most are in the Southeast and include: 65 percent of stations in North Carolina, more than 40 percent of stations in Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia, 16 percent of stations in Tennessee, and 6 to 11 percent of stations in Alabama, Florida, Maryland and Washington DC.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<h5 dir=\"ltr\">How can I report price gouging?<\/h5>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">You should report suspected price gouging to the company and your state\u2019s attorney general. Here\u2019s the contact information for each state\u2019s attorney general:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Alabama\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Online Report Form: <a
