Virginia encourages consumers to report suspected motor vehicle fuel price gouging

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) says it stands ready to investigate complaints about the gasoline and motor vehicle fuels portion of the Anti-Gouging Act in Virginia.

If you suspect price gouging in your area, please submit a report using the form at http://www.vdacs.virginia.gov/pdf/pricegouging.pdf.

For price gouging complaints involving other consumer goods or services, e.g. water, ice, food, generators, batteries, home repair materials and services, and tree removal services, please contact the Consumer Protection Section in the Office of the Attorney General at 800-552-9963 or 804-786-2042, or visit http://www.oag.state.va.us and select “Citizen Resources.”
