Take several pictures of signs that show the depth of the problem; attach them with an e-mail.

How about an e-mail to local tv stations? Maybe the newspaper? You might be surprised at how quickly things might get done.
After 3 weeks of listening to my husband complain that there had not been anything in the news over whether his union was going on strike or if a new labor contract was in place I wrote a quick email to a tv station. Within an hour a reporter wrote back and said he contacted the union rep and the contract was extended for a month. I chuckled as I related the news to hubby, now was that so hard,,lol.

Just contact the newspaper, radio or tv station with your concern but I would have proof of gas gouging to back up your claim to show these folks. Too many claims of gas gouging are just that, rumors but no proof.
