Why is price gouging illegal?

Watching the news on this hurricane and Bush came out and said they will be monitoring instances of price gouging by gas stations. Why exactly can't you raise prices on gas when the demand is high and supply is potentially going to be low? Oil companies can abuse the prices all the time based on demand, but gas stations can't? Seems the small business owner gets fucked in this one.
