A Campbell County gas station has agreed to make restitution to customers to settle allegations that it violated Virginia's anti-gouging law during Hurricane Ike.

Virginia Attorney General Bill Mims announced the settlement with Chamberlayne Enterprises Inc., doing business as Timberlake Citgo, Tuesday. The settlement was filed in Campbell County Circuit Court.

Mims alleged in a complaint filed with the settlement that Timberlake Citgo's price for a regular gallon of gas on the evening of September 12, 2008, and the following morning was 55-percent higher than on September 8.

Timberlake also agreed to contribute $500 to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund in lieu of civil penalties.

WHSV Poll
A committee in the House of Delegates has sent a bill to the House floor that would allow private, faith-based adoption agencies to discriminate against prospective parents based on their sexual orientation. Would you support this?

Yes, I think if it is a private organization it's okay.
No, there should be no discrimination.
It should depend on a case by case basis.
