Price-gouging during the first Iraqi-American war? Feh. From what I remember, gas was at 99 cents a gallon in Detroit at the time.

- dhimes 19y agoAt the time, the jump in prices was huge. Congress conducted an investigation, led by Al D'Amato because the prices jumped a lot with seemingly little variation in the market forces. D'Amato didn't run for re-election to the Senate (something about having to face some ethics charges if he came back, as I recall). I tried to get the report from Congress, but couldn't find it (I admit, I didn't try that hard, but I was curious as to what it said). Anyway, no matter. Interesting thread (but it cost me a ton of Karma!) Back to work.
