Here is Missouri the AG was on TV saying how they are going after any gas
stations that raised prices over $2.50 per gallon.  They had cited 39
stations so far and were going to go after those that raised prices over
$2.00 a gallon next.

By mid day yesterday most stations has lowered their pricing back and were
offering refunds to those that overpaid.  They seemed to have forgotten what
they were doing was illegal.
