Not my intenet and not nice. Just making the point that gas resellers are no different than anyone other retailer in our open market system. They try to figure out the best price point for their product and that the "profit" margin that a price reflects isn't necessarily fixed and unchanging. The goal of capital systems is maximized profit. Sometimes there isn't a postive profit margin and good goods are sold without profit or at a loss. Although this doesn't normally apply to something like gas Nevin's point shows it can.
As far as gouging such regulations are most likely to exist to regulate pricing under certain emergency conditions. But there are all sorts of complex regulations so you never know what might apply to someting in one place or another.
