In NJ there used to be a state law saying gas prices can only change 1 time a calendar day, guess not here or maybe not there anymore either. Seems gas is lower in the AM than the PM, at least at Circle K on 466A.
I have read that some gas stations use a computerized price changing system that automatically raises the price at times when people are least likely to be shopping for a low price. For example, people who need gas at 2AM, are not likely to care about the price.
