RALEIGH, N.C. -

Attorney General Roy Cooper's office says two gas stations will repay consumers for gas bought when prices jumped as Hurricane Ike hit the Gulf Coast.
     
Cooper's office said Friday that owners of The Corner Market gas station in Jefferson and Old Fort Citgo in Old Fort agreed to repay customers who purchased overpriced gas from them on Sept. 12 and 13. At The Corner Market, a gallon of regular unleaded fuel topped out at $5.29. At Old Fort Citgo, prices reached $4.99. They also will pay $5,000 in civil penalties, which will go to North Carolina schools.
     
Consumers will get refunds of up to $1.69 per gallon by credit card or in person for those who paid cash and have proof.
     
Cooper has subpoenaed 36 gas stations and two others have agreed to make refunds.
