We continue to work closely with emergency responders, shelters and the American Red Cross throughou
On Tuesday, social media was on fire Tuesday ( #njgas#njopen was a Twitter hashtag) with the frantic search for local fueling stations that were open. Unfortunately, many found that many establishments were price gauging. Other stations were plum out.
Reader Sarah Mundrick says: Someone just posted hotel with spa room cincinnati about the Delta on route 46 east in Ledgewood. I just wanted to add that this afternoon I waited over 90 minutes on that line and they were refusing to fill gas cans or containers and said cars only! Just wanted to let you all know so you don t waste your time like I did!
From reader Carlos Trejo: I live in Edison and looked everywhere for open gas stations to no avail. I decided to drive all the way to Easton PA to get gas. No lines most gas stations open many people from NJ are getting gas from PA.
3:46 via Twitter: Kristen Lord of The Star-Ledger says: Earlier today, the Singin gas station on Lower Main St. in Matawan had pumps operating. hotel with spa room cincinnati They weren t allowing vehicles hotel with spa room cincinnati in the parking lot, but those with gas cans can wait on line for gas.
1:24: Jen Braun of The Star-Ledger says: Gulf Station on corner hotel with spa room cincinnati of Hillside Ave and Chestnut in Hillside had gas at 11-ish this morning hotel with spa room cincinnati but line of cars to get in there is causing gridlock on Hillside Ave for at least half a mile, maybe more. Entrance to 78 West on Chestnut hard to access hotel with spa room cincinnati because of this.
8:52 a.m. The lack of available gasoline has apparently led some dealers and other retailers to raise prices above what is permitted during a state of emergency, and the state Attorney General's Office has said it is investigating dozens of allegations of price gouging.
The law defines hotel with spa room cincinnati price gouging as increases of 10 percent or more during a state of emergency and for a 30-day period afterward. It says that retailers hotel with spa room cincinnati can legally bump prices hotel with spa room cincinnati by 10 percent or more if they reflect additional costs to the seller.

4:05 a.m.: There was an hour-long line at the Sunoco on Route 3 West in Clifton, but the owner says they are almost out so if you are reading this, it is probably too late. There is also at least a one-half hotel with spa room cincinnati hour wait at the Hess on McCarter Highway in Newark.
It wasn t easy to keep things hotel with spa room cincinnati moving at the Quality Service Center. The gas station s owner, Jack Pekarchik, and his friend Robert Palagonia, the owner of Amber Construction, put gas in some of Palagonia s trucks.

1:05 a.m. A bit of good news in case you missed it: Gov.

Normally, merchants not licensed to import fuel cannot legally buy it from other states.
