Sticker shock at the gas pumps continues even as the storm which created this price hike is out of the gulf.
Drivers still looking for relatively cheap gas will have a hard time finding it.
In the Beaufort County town of Chocowinity, one gas station post gas over the four dollar mark, while the fuel station down the road sits one penny under it.
Drivers tell me, they've had to alter their weekend driving habits due to the gas hike.
Thelma Davis says, " I just had not to go to the store. I had everything ready and had it at home because i didn't know what was going to happen. It's very sad, because so many people need gas, need transportation and not just for foolishness."
Davis says she struggling with high prices, but has to drive, she says she will have to cut back on other items, like groceries.
