How long before they make buying gas in NJ illegal?

That's one of the many "benefits" of having mandatory GPS tracking in every car.

Are you visiting Ahmed's Gas'n'Go once a week?

Of course you will be allowed to buy gas in NJ, but you will get a bill for the taxes you avoid from the PA dept. of revenue.

Isn't technology wonderful?

Or you could buy some 5 gal plastic jugs from Blitz.

No, wait....

You can't. The trial lawyers drove them out of business because some Americans apparently can't handle that much fuel at once.

Now it will gas stations in DE that will see increased business. For years, PA and NJ have come shopping in DE - no sales tax. Occasionally, PA gestapo will stop shoppers on I-95 and confiscate the “evidence”. Solution - take US 13 to Marcus Hook and get on I-95 there.

Mafia-run slapdash paving contractors have a whole lotta pull in this state. As do public transit employee unions, whose members retire with lifelong pay and full benes at 52.

Political suicide for our GOP. If the game is now all about giving away candy, the Dems will always offer more.

Forget gas...people have been stopped for buying milk in Ohio (seeing as our retail prices here are SET BY THE STATE)

Wonder if the rest of the state can secede from Filthadelphia.

Just give West Camden (aka Philadumpia) to the People’s Republic of New Jersey. Both states would benefit.

Yeah, that’s our Governor trying to make Dems happy.

It never ends.

Indiana charges sales tax on the retail price of gasoline rather than a fixed amount per gallon.
So the amount of gas tax varies depending on the price/gal.

It’s way past time to end the “prevailing wage” provisions. It’s essentially a union employment plan. If they’re more efficient and competitive they’ll win more contracts.

“That could leave consumers paying up to 28 cents per gallon more, assuming distributors push their higher tax rates down the gas chain.”

It amazes me that politicians and their Media minions expect businesses to ‘absorb’ a tax and NOT pass it on to consumers in the form of increased prices. How many times have you read a remark like this when it comes to the increase of a business tax? Countless...
