CHARLOTTE — More than 220 complaints have been filed against North Carolina gas stations that drivers say aren’t following the gas tax suspension.
The suspension took effect on Oct. 10. It eliminates the state’s 41-cent gas tax through the end of November.

North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson launched the N.C. Fuel Check System on Monday. It allows drivers to file complaints about gas stations they think might be overcharging.
Businesses that don’t comply could face a $5,000 fine.
At last check, the average price for a gallon of gas in North Carolina is $3.67 without tax.
In South Carolina, Attorney General Alan Wilson is calling for a suspension of the state’s 28-cents per gallon tax. Gov. Henry McMaster previously rejected a suspension.
