Nope, gotta get a tank to go see my son Saturday. Hell, 20 gallons every 3 weeks isn't that big a deal, it's just the principle of the thing. BTW I just found out why the gas is so cheap in NJ. It not the entire state, just on the turnpike. It seems the NJTA has a contract with Sun Oil out of Philly that only allows them (Sunoco) to raise prices on Fridays, and only by .10/gal each time. |

No, the whole state is cheaper than the surrounding areas & the turnpike doesn't have the cheapest gas... not by a long shot. There are certain areas where the price goes up a tad... like in the north western part of the state near the Penn border and there are parts that are uber-cheap, like around the central shore. I have to tank up today since I haven't tanked up in a few weeks. The two main highways that travel the length of the state are both toll roads... and both are watched very carefully by the state for price gouging so the prices on both the Turnpike & the Garden State Parkway, while never the cheapest, are quite reasonable.
