I haven't seen gouging at the pumps or hotels in the Southeast in spite of the storm. Got some (relatively) cheap fuel today: $3,69/1 US gallon ($0,98/litre) for mid-grade. I think taking advantage of folks who have to suffer through the storm is just bad and I'd report that kind of stuff to the authorities.

There's not much choice. Best Buy isn't great, but I'm not a fan of hhgregg either: they're not always cheaper and their salesmen are on commission so they constantly haggle/annoy me when I'm just browsing around. I think I'll just stick to Sears.......
