It will just be more of the usual price gouging by the oil companies.
The gas that is in the tanks at the gas stations is already in the distribution pipeline, and the hurricanes had no effect on it whatsoever, except to allow huge price increases for no reason.

You know, when somebody goes to a hurricane site and tries to sell a power generator for double what it cost him, the police arrest him for gouging.

When the oil companies do basically the same thing on a nationwide scale, nobody makes a peep about it.

I guess you never lived in FL.
Even on the national news during some of the previous hurricanes, it was shown on TV that police were arresting people "profiteering" on selling generators to the victims at "higher than retail prices".

Perhaps a little education before you raise the BS flag.
Ignorance is no excuse.

EDITED TO ADD:
From Brendan I. Koerner of MSN Slate's "Explainer" column:

Hurricane Charley has reportedly brought out the worst in some merchants, as the Florida attorney general's office has been inundated with complaints about price gouging. Among the travesties cited are a $10 bag of ice in Orlando, $3 gallons of gas, and $2,000 power generators. At what point does a little legal—albeit morally suspect—profiteering turn into illegal price gouging?
I rarely read the phrase "morally suspect" in any column anywhere, but there it is. I single out Koerner's column because it captures the dominant mode of reporting. (It is a piece about the way the disaster has been handled in the media.) This, then, is the essence of immorality in an age dominated by moral relativism: Selling a product for the price it will command.

It seems that Florida law prohibits vendors from charging:

...an "unconscionable price" for their wares during an emergency. The attorney general is responsible for deciding what constitutes an unconscionable price, using prices over 30 days prior to the crisis as a barometer of what's fair market value.
Another word chalked full of moral indignation: "unconscionable."

Does anyone here actually think oil is a "free market"?

It is a cartel, which fixes prices.
It is the furthest thing from a "free market" that can be found.

They have the world over the "proverbial barrel", and do as they wish with us.
Nobody can "decide" to "switch to another vendor" because the entire infrastructure of the nation and the world is built around oil.  It is also ridden with tons of government taxes on every possible aspect of oil and it's uses.

How is this a "free market"?
I suppose it's because I can pay $2.98 at Conoco, or $2.97 at Exxon?.
