That's depressing. On the route to and from NH, I always pull off on I-84 at NY Exit 1 which crosses into New Jersey. Everyone does. Gas is always cheap there.
I guess not anymore. This is going to kill a few businesses in the Port Jervis area. Actually, it will be bad for New Jersey in general. When a big state raises taxes, most citizens have no choice but to comply. But when a little state jacks its gas taxes up, it's easy for a pretty good percentage of the population to buy gas out of state.
So, it's a double whammy. Folks like me won't be crossing into New Jersey to get gas, and folks in New Jersey will cross into other states to get cheaper gas.
So dumb.
