It could have been a line of cars from PA or CA and the police would have broken it up if it was causing major traffic issues.
Exactly! It's not like they went through the line, and anyone with PA plates or other states than NJ were plucked out and allowed to stay. Using the logic of the original post, I guess if all the people in the cars in line were black, the headline would be "black people aren't allowed to get gas at PA gas stations".

Let's put this to bed. PA is NOT turning away NJ cars, this is first hand experience.

Right...I just searched for a solid 15 minutes online for stories about NJ motorists being turned away in PA, and the only hit I get is this thread...
