The biggest problem New Jersey is going to have comes from their anti-”gouging” laws. Holding prices artificially low just creates shortages faster and makes them last longer.

Absolutely. Unfortunately, few people understand this, and it's easy to appeal to emotion.

On Fox and Friends this morning, a reporter was breathlessly reporting $5.99/gal prices at a NJ gas station that "just shut down after it saw our truck!" "People are waiting in line, but they don't know that the station just closed!"

Yeah, because of you, dumbass!

The station owner could have used the extra income to pay for expedited gas deliveries. But now he can't, thanks to the stupid, college-educated, economically illiterate, reporter.
