File a complaint against suspected price gouging

NYS Gasoline Price Stability Task Force

• Compare gasoline prices in your area

The state's price gouging law applies to situations when a gasoline retailer, distributor or producer raises prices dramatically, and without justification, during a natural disaster. To ensure that they are not victims of price gouging, New Yorkers should be alert for prices that are significantly higher than the local average. There is no gouging, however, when a natural disaster (such as Hurricane Katrina) increases costs and those additional costs are passed onto consumers in the form of higher pump prices.
