Gasoline Price Gouging? Tell Patch

Share your tales of finding gas and filling up.

With gasoline a rare commodity in Westchester over one week after Sandy, Patch is asking readers to share information on where motorists can fill up—and what stations are hiking the price.

Alison Murphy—who lives in Rhode Island but was visiting family in the area—shares a receipt from a pit stop she made in White Plains.

Gas was $5.06 a gallon.

I paid $4.09 a gallon today at the Sunoco station here in New Rochelle this afternoon.
The lines have subsided as well.
ChrisG November 6, 2012 at 08:46 pm
I had to pay 4.69 tuesday (day after storm) at BP in WP. It was premium, but all they claimed to have.
jeff November 6, 2012 at 08:47 pm
i go to rt 117 in bedford and super is $4.30 but in white plains on the hutch parkway the guy is nuts he went from $4.25 to $ 5.94 ,, and he has a 3 mile line in both the north and south bound entrances
Sunder Thadani November 6, 2012 at 09:06 pm
I think these gas stations should be boycotted by public when normalcy returns.
Christi November 6, 2012 at 09:06 pm
I paid $5.05 a gallon at the Mobil station on the corner of Kensico and Westchester Ave in White Plains on Sunday. I paid it becasue they had gas and I was afraid that if I didnt get it there, I wouldnt get it at all. Every other station with gas was 4.09-4.29. I noticed today the price was $4.29. I reported them to the Atty Gen. for price goughing.

I have half a tank and I'm trying to avoid waiting in line/filling up until next week. Luckily, I don't drive too far.
Francis T McVetty November 6, 2012 at 09:28 pm
Both stations in the center of Yorktown { Shell across from the Mobil } were charging $4.59/gal yesterday. Today there are at $4.29/gal. The Shell station near Under hill ave was charging $4.19/gal. I heard from a friend that the Shell station9 center of town was charging $5/gal cash. I wonder how many sales were NOT recordered? How much in tax revenue did the taxpayers lose?
Aidan November 6, 2012 at 09:35 pm
Four more years! Maybe we can touch that $10 a gallon mark
Paul Tillotson November 6, 2012 at 09:43 pm
$10 a gallon will be cheap under a Romney / Ryan market-driven economy !
Billy November 6, 2012 at 09:51 pm
As if trickle down government will do any better?
And as for that pipeline from Canada, you'd prefer that oil to be shipped to China?
Jeanie Bombace November 6, 2012 at 10:03 pm
I got gas yesterday in Eastchester, at J&E Sunoco on White Plains Rd & Hall Ave . Not only did they NOT raise prices, they were very nice and even had firemen helping people (like me) who didn't know what they were doing. Very impressed. I will not patronize any business that takes advantage of people in a crisis.
They're the same animal - WAKE UP. Barnum was so so right.
Ron Cohen November 6, 2012 at 10:26 pm
Sunoco at 160 N Saw Mill River Rd, Elmsford was charging $4.49 yesterday when most others were $4.09-$4.19!
Kevin Zawacki (Editor) November 7, 2012 at 03:03 am
Just in -- a reader shared a photo (now in the above gallery) of a Sunoco station in Harrison selling gas for nearly $5/gallon.
Dakota Marin November 7, 2012 at 05:25 am
Hillside Ave at Tarrytown Rd in White Plains. - Sunoco cash only, premium only $4.59 a gallon
Dakota Marin November 7, 2012 at 05:27 am
Shell station on route 22 (Sir John's Plaza), North White Plains. Cash only, $4.49 a gallon
Dom's in Croton on Hudson, NY. Super only, $4.69 a gallon Shell station on Rt 9, southbound side, at Rt 52, Fishkill NY - Super only, $4.64 a gallon Let's see if anyone gives a crap (not holding my breath).
Rich November 7, 2012 at 12:13 pm
Mobil in Tarrytown...regular at $4.50 only if you pay CA$H and the shell right down the street in Irvington is $4.10 cash or credit and there are zero cars on line.
Melissa Montaruli November 7, 2012 at 12:28 pm
FYI- The Hess station on Route 202 and Lexington Avenue never closed throughout the storm. Their gas price for regular was $3.95 then and it STILL IS!!!! They never raised their prices and still kept them constant. They have more than earned my loyalty!
brian robinson November 7, 2012 at 12:32 pm
Sams citgo in west harrison
No lines-good prices and full service
Tony Santiago November 7, 2012 at 08:20 pm
Valero on Saw Mill River Road in Hawthorne (across from the Diner and New York Sports Club. $4.59 cash for super unleaded, which was ALL THEY HAD. No lines, but no wonder...gouding.
R. H. Lewis November 8, 2012 at 10:45 am
A list should be posted here or elsewhere of the stations that are still below $4.
R. H. Lewis November 8, 2012 at 10:46 am
Where is this place, "Route 202 and Lexington Avenue"? What town?
Carmelite 64 November 11, 2012 at 03:39 pm
Happy to report Brewster Gulf in Brewster kept gas around $3.99 to $4.05 for regular. The new Mobile on Drewville road bounced from $3.99 to $4.19 but brough it back down quickly....
Francis T McVetty November 16, 2012 at 07:13 pm
DON'T BUY CITCO!!! Stop patronizing a communists dictator!!!
Kevin Zawacki (Editor) November 16, 2012 at 07:14 pm
Hi all, for an update on this story: http://rye.patch.com/articles/ag-accuses-white-plains-and-harrison-mobils-of-price-gouging
William Demarest (Editor) November 16, 2012 at 07:47 pm
Just got gas ... $4.09 and no lines!
Michael Woyton (Editor) November 16, 2012 at 08:20 pm
I got gas a couple of days ago at Costco in New Rochelle. $3.79/gallon and there were pumps with no cars at them.
R. H. Lewis November 16, 2012 at 08:43 pm
Got gas yesterday on Tuckahoe Road Yonkers, between the Sprain and the Deegan, near the ShopRite, for 3.99
jeff meyer November 17, 2012 at 01:05 pm
The MOBIL in Tuckahoe rules. $3.99 a gallon for regular unleaded. Same price cash or credit. The workers are always polite and helpful. Jeff Meyer Tuckahoe, NY

Ginger, Moe and Frankie. I am privilaged to honor you and Gabby with this funraiser. I would alsoRead More like to thank my family who drive 370 miles to help me and show their love for you. So many volunteers that help. Thank you Tina, Ray and Melissa for holding down the tshirt and bookbag table. Thank you to mom and dad for holding down the refreshment table and to Julie, Carley and Jason for working the raffle table. Also to Gabby for the wonderful tattoos and for Missy for teaching our children about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. I would also like to thank Al for bringing the firetruck and all the enjoyment it brought the little ones. Now to all that came and donated, I thank you. Without you all there would be no "WALK". Love you all, Peace and Love, Laurie.
Laurie MacAllister June 18, 2013 at 09:23 pm
One more person, my husband Rusty, you are my glue that holds me together. Thank you for putting upRead More with me through all my craziness. Love you.
Laurie MacAllister June 18, 2013 at 09:28 pm
Sorry Pete from Memorable Moments. You know how much you are appreciated for the wonderful picturesRead More that you took the day of the "walk" words cannot describe how I appreciate you donating your time. Thank you.
PC Lover June 15, 2013 at 09:04 am
Cathy, Westmed should refer to you as "Valued Customer". No person can serve two masters.Read More Every Doctor must ask themself, "Am I serving my patients or am I serving the insurance companies? Because those two are in direct financial conflict with each other. Seven minute maximum "face time" sort of answers that question, doesn't it? Today, medicine is a business...once you accept that fact you will begin to have the proper mind set to better navigate the system as a customer, not as a patient. There are exceptions.
PC Lover June 15, 2013 at 09:06 am
Craig, I may be wrong but I doubt the average doctor at Westmed is making that much money. Do youRead More have a reference for that estimate or just wishful thinking?
PC Lover June 15, 2013 at 09:13 am
Cathy..I agree wholeheartedly. Charging for parking is the epitome of arrogance. As the insuranceRead More companies squeeze Westmed they are trying to pass their overhead onto us, when what they should be doing is dropping the underpaying plans and letting the world know which insurance companies they can no longer accept due to the insurance company's corporate greed. Maybe then the reimbursement will improve. I hope they choke on it.
Craig Noor June 14, 2013 at 05:31 pm
The new picture is decent ... only about 15 percent Byram.
Silvio V. Buccieri June 14, 2013 at 06:29 pm
IF you like roof tops, then this is picture you should keep posted.
FJT June 17, 2013 at 08:43 am
The photo I was referring to was the one that showed the Byram River not the one that's up thereRead More now. The village's own website has some nice photos of Port Chester. Maybe the Patch could ask to borrow one of those, or take their own photo using the same vantage point.
Craig Noor June 13, 2013 at 05:33 pm
ps oh yeah, it's stand by, not standby
Craig Noor June 14, 2013 at 07:40 am
Not surprisingly, the Greenwich patch photo is of a dumpster and the rye patch photo is ofRead More people's,owing crack. Or not pathetic!
Aidan June 14, 2013 at 11:32 am
Keep at it, Katie. It's a small potatoes thing. You'll get it straight, I'm sure. Thanks for theRead More energy.
Sandra Casey June 11, 2013 at 12:37 pm
This photo is still not appropriate. Sorry, but it is more of Byram than of Port Chester. PleaseRead More choose a photo in Port Chester.
Craig Noor June 11, 2013 at 05:36 pm
Yep the left half is Byram ... As I mentioned, if you stood in Byram you could take a picture thatRead More was all Port Chester ...
Bea Conetta June 12, 2013 at 10:07 am
This picture is truly ridiculous, because it is not Port Chester. It is a photo of Byram and aRead More parking lot. As for Patch's new format, I dislike it intensely. Go back to the old format that was more interesting and not so dull. It was good to see the comments of residents and be able to give your own opinion. It wasn't broken, so why change it? I am still waiting to get some help on how to get to my past comments. Can anyone help me with that problem that arose with the new format?
niecey June 10, 2013 at 08:02 am
I agree. It is awful. Go back to old design. I hardly go to the website anymore

This reminds me what " COCA-COLA" DID DECADES AGO! . THEY CAME OUT WITH A DIFFERENT"Read More COKE" NEW! IMPROVED! ETC.ETC. FORMULA. PEOPLE HATED IT THE FIRST DAY IT WENT TO THE SHELVES! LATER ON THEY WENT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL !!! ..... IF IT AINT BROKEN!....
Aidan June 14, 2013 at 11:53 am
Yeah. It's lousy. Admit it and fix it.
Liz Giegerich (Editor) June 6, 2013 at 03:30 pm
Hi Silvio, Thanks for offering. We have a photo to be used. Just waiting for it to be changed by ourRead More tech team. Thank you.
Liz Giegerich (Editor) June 6, 2013 at 03:18 pm
HI everyone, I do not have the ability to change it myself right now. Patch is aware of the repeatedRead More requests for it to be changed. A new photograph will be put in place as soon as possible. Again, sorry for the delay and for the initial mistake that led to this photo being used. The photo that is supposed to be there is the one used on our facebook page right now.

Sadly, comments that were posted here by Craig Noor and FJT have been removed -- along with anotherRead More commenter's invitation to share more about the issue at hand. Perhaps our comments were too negative in the eyes of certain people with more power than the average Port Chester property owner.
epp June 19, 2013 at 12:57 am
My neighborhood is riddled with irresponsible renters thanks to the money hungry dirt bag landlords.Read More More burden on the schools and village services and we pay for it every year. My property value went down another $17,000 this past year while taxes keep rising. Eighteen years here and the last seven years have not been very promising.
Liz Giegerich (Editor) June 5, 2013 at 10:36 am
I am so sorry about this. We will have it changed as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.
Anne Latella June 8, 2013 at 11:26 am
I believe the Port Chester High School is the most beautiful High School in Westchester and all ofRead More the surrounding states. Its architecture is incomparable. It should be representative of the village and its residents. Also you might consider the Veterans Monument on Westchester Ave or Lyons Park with the flowers in bloom. All historical and representative of the beauty of the village. Any one of these sites would make a beautiflul
Anne Latella June 8, 2013 at 11:28 am
Patch Picture & represent the village in a magnificent manner.
Craig Noor June 4, 2013 at 07:16 pm
And while I'm on the subject of ugly this redesign is still hideous. Nice inscrutable icon next toRead More my post - it adds nothing, but meanwhile you have removed the preview of people's comments that used to come up when you clicked on their name. And this light gray type is awful. And it doesn't make the ads more visible if that is what you were thinking
Craig Noor June 4, 2013 at 07:17 pm
Wow, hit a paragraph return and it posts your comment prematurely. Are two-paragraph comments tooRead More much sophistication for your audience, advertisers, or editors?
Anna June 4, 2013 at 09:05 pm
I personally like this image of Main Street...although I would agree it is a sloppy photograph andRead More is not framed well. Why pretend that Port Chester is something that it isn't? It's not Rye. And I don't know why you'd rather have an image of generic sailboats as a backdrop.
