You sure opened a can of worms with this question! LOL
It appears that the consensus is that it's more ethical to stay home with your gas and let someone ride out the storm in their car, rather than offer them the gas they need.
The same ethics debate is raging on another forum I frequent. One of the members there rented a Uhaul truck and drove 1500 miles round trip to buy 30 generators and bring them back to sell at a premium. As you've experienced, most are calling him a heartless, price gouging bass-turd (and worse). Apparently it would have been more ethical to leave the generators 750 miles away in a warehouse & let folks deal with no electricity at any price.
If you don't believe that mandatory price controls remove supply incentive, I have one word for you: Venezuela.
