Could be worse than singing Prince.

I really don't understand the reason for this either. Sure it obviously costs more to ship gas to PA then to say NJ because NJ has the actual refineries to begin with. But PA isn't much further out and there's no reason for an almost 30 cent per gallon difference. What's really silly about it is i almost wonder if these folks who set the prices are assuming there simply isn't some alternative. If that's part of the reason (and that can happen on a large level without any active collusion, by the way), it's really silly. I haven't fueled up in PA for about 2 months. I simply fuel up before or after work in NJ.

It's pretty simple, you charge 30 cents more, you get 0 dollars from me.

PA gas taxes are higher than NJ. I think that's the difference. Fast Eddie Rendell doubled the gas tax soon after being elected.

Its not fair...people in NJ make more money than people in PA on average, yet we get charged more for gas....NJ can charge less for gas and they even have to pay someone to pump it for you!
