High prices continue at a gas station in Greene County. The Walstonburg Service Station in Greene County is selling a gallon of regular gas this week for $5.40.
Gas station owner, Bob Hicks, took the family business over from his father Carl T. Hicks over 25 years ago.
Hicks says he is selling his gas for almost what he paid for it on Monday of this week. A situation Hicks says is out of his control
Hicks says he bought a limited amount of gas at this price and he expects the price to go down next week.

I agree with Debbie Murphys comment on 9/19/08 I know Mr Bobby Hicks and do not believe he will gouge his customers. However I also know the other store (4-way)in the Hookerton area that Ray commented about on 9/19/08 and it does not suprise me at all that the owner of 4-way store would raise prices to make a dollar.

To Dumb Founded of Kinston, its the fault of our government for price gouging but the news media will never call them to get quotes because when it comes to the controllers of this country, everything must be hush hush! No one is allowed to fault our leaders!! If the government didnt get so greedy first then these gas station owners would not do it. But we are not allowed to speak bad about our "Wonderful" government! If we could just get one reporter with enough gutts to make that one phone call for comments to our government, the truth will come out but the news media only covers what they are allowed to cover! But I know that our "Great president and government" and the oil companies are the ones who are pocketing the money!! Isnt it funny how the prices skyrocketed way before there was ANY damage done to any of the oil wells in the gulf coast? Its because they found an excuse to use to get that extra buck!!!
