I'm sorry Mr. Smith I think your car is going to be hard so I'm gonna charge you 90$ an hour instead of the regular 60$.
Seems to me to be the same thing. Isn't this type of price gouging against the law?

Actually, "price gouging" or raising your prices in a federal disaster area is a felony punishable by imprisonment. (FDA declared by president, as Louisiana is/will be). Wouldn't it be sweet to see some Exxon/Mobil execs getting ass-raped in the near future, just so that they can know how the rest of us feel.
