[quote The UnDoug]I've thought it through a number of times, myself. Here in Philadelphia, even at the cheapest stations (and there can be a 20 cent or more difference between stations within a mile or two of each other), the price is still about 30 cents more than it is in New Jersey, right across the bridge over the Delaware River. It'd only take a few minutes to drive to Jersey and get fill up, *but*, there's a three dollar toll to cross the bridge back to Philadelphia. So for my car's 16 gallon tank, I figure it'd have to be at least a thirty cent difference (about $4.80 total difference) to cover the toll and my time. :-)
The Tacony-Palmyra bridge is only $2.
Depending where you live, it might be farther away though.
Also, you can cross over to Jersey for free on I-95 North near Trenton.
Probably doesn't make economic sense, though.
