The really strange thing is that our gas prices are much lower than the neighboring states. So, we get cheap gas and we don't even have to get out of the car.

But they nail you with other taxes elsewhere. Property taxes and personal taxes are high there.

Yeah, property taxes suck because all our school administrators are corrupt, and we spend way too much on education that is not working (see Nations Report Card - The Nation's Report Card - National Assessment of Educational Progress - NAEP), but that's a rant for another forum . Personal taxes are not that bad, and about the same as most states. We even have some areas where they lower sales tax to 3.5%. Car insurance used to be insane, but it is slowly coming down (or maybe I'm just getting older )

All I know is that my uncle said personal taxes were killing him so much he couldn't afford to retire in NJ. He moved to PA.

He must have been making a lot of money. NJ taxes are tiered. If you are in the middle range, you pay 5 or 6 percent. If you are in the upper range (over 500,000) you pay closer to 9 percent. PA is a flat 3% for any income. Rural PA is a good place to retire.

TN (my home of record, since I'm in the military) has no state taxes and I get the benefits of living in a state that has income taxes.

I don't know what he was making. Probably 6 figures, but definitely not over 500k.

None the less, he moved.

I just barely bought my car i got an 07 grand prix and my gas mileage sucks as well. the only tip i have is that u fill up at night or early in the morning when its not so hot because the heat expands the gas therefore ur not getting the amount ur paying for. also, see what kind of gas u use because arco is crap i only put chevron premium in mine and my mpg is 24 now compared to 19.5

Underground tanks should be the same temp all day I would assume.

While I know that fuel does expand with temperature, the tanks are underground and well insulated. The sun's rays have no effect.

Regardless of how hot it is outside or what time of day, the metal part of the handle is always pretty cool when I pump the gas.
