Last summer I went to south Jersey and the prices along the way were a
little higher in the Poconos (there's NO easy way to Cape May from
Syracuse, NY), and about 5-8 cents/gal cheaper in north/middle Jersey.

The number of people who live close enough to NJ to make the trip
worthwhile (speaking for NY residents in general, not DMLers) is
incredibly small.

Unless you loaded up the bed with a tank or tanks and picked up, say, 50
gallons or more. But that brings its own set of problems; I don't know
what the laws are on hauling that amount of flammable liquids with a
"regular" truck, and if the price drops signifcantly afterwards, you've
just blown a lot of money you didn't have to.
