- 10 minute drive ( if that across bridge to gas station from PA to NJ and back home )
- Savings ( after $4.00 toll to fill up ) $4.80 USD.

Do that 3 times a week ... you save $14.40 USD. Not a lot, but every penny counts.

Also side benefit - in NJ the booze is far cheaper than in PA, so make it a beer / liquor run as well ..Bring a friend (as I do alot ) and have them pay the toll, hit the beer stand, get a tank of gas ;)
This right there, shows that in the end, gas consumption in USD is the same all over, completely disregarding the price of it...

_3_ times a week you fill up your tank?! My SLS does not even eat gas that fast, and I drive it all the time...
