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.

Gas went up a solid dollar (4.599) in less than 24 hr. even before the hurricane touched shore at the Makin Tracks on the corner of 5th and 15th by Foodlion. You are right...don't shop here ever again. Call the attorney General, they will take your report over the phone if you ask nicely.

We know which stations were trying to price gouge us. We should stay away from these stations. Do not purchase gas, drinks or snacks from these stations. Let's stick together and show these stations that we don't appreciate them trying to take advantage of us. I hope our Attorney General is looking into this and will take appropriate actions. Email your Governor and let's put the heat on our elected officials to stop price gouging. We might not be able to control all of these stations, but if we work together the next time the price of gas shoots up, maybe these station owners will think twice about raising above the suggested price, that is if they are still in business!
