Alaska's gas prices rise up to $9

In Anchorage, Alaska, many americans today, are paying about up to $3. But people who live in McGrath, Alaska saw their price of gas jump all the way to $9 in one night. The best price at the only pump went from $6 to $9.20. The gas company Crowley Petroleum Distribution stated that it was forced to raise their price because the winter drained there town supply, and raising the price dramatically was the only option. The company says that it will not be able to send a barge until June at the EARLIEST. Crowley Petroleum Distrbution says that atleast 400 people have tried to contact their facebook page and tried to boycott.
