Ridgewood NJ, Seventy-five gas stations, for one day only, will be lowering prices this Friday May 13th as they take part in the Fuel Your Way NJ Self-Serve Day of Awareness. You could save up to 23 cents on EVERY gallon of gas you purchase this Friday at quite a few gas stations across Central Jersey. In fact, it’ll be available at gas stations across the ENTIRE state of New Jersey.
Sal Risalvato is the executive director of the New Jersey Gasoline, C-Store and Automotive Association and they plan on doing a day of awareness this Friday to show how much money we’ll save if we simply pump our own gas.
Newark NJ, Sal Risalvato, Executive Director of the New Jersey Gasoline, C-Store, Automotive Association, a nonprofit trade association representing motor fuel retailers and associated small businesses, released the following comments:
Newark NJ, the hashtag “Boycott Lukoil” has been popping up online, and Wednesday, the Newark City Council voted to suspend Lukoil licenses in New Jersey’s largest city. Unfortunately the resolution does little to stand with Ukraine and punish Russia . The suspension may actually cost jobs and put small business owners out of business.
Newark NJ, Acting Attorney General Andrew J. Bruck today announced that the Division of Consumer Affairs has reached a settlement agreement for more than $138,000 involving five Essex County gas stations that were found to be overcharging consumers, including by selling regular fuel as premium.

THE RECORD
A Lodi man has been charged with multiple offenses following a four-month Glen Rock police investigation into an alleged credit-card fraud ring that skimmed victims’ information at local gas stations.
Kenny Frias, 42, is charged with money laundering, trafficking in personal information of another and fraudulent use of credit card, the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office said in a news release.
Frias is allegedly part of a ring that supplied gas station attendants with skimming devices to fraudulently obtain credit card information from victims and then used that information to make purchases, mostly of alcohol, at various locations throughout the state. The alcohol then allegedly was sold at the Phebe Night Club and Restaurant in Jersey City, where Frias is a manager.Frias was arrested Wednesday by Glen Rock police in Clifton and remained Friday in the Bergen County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bail without a 10 percent bonding option.
Police do not know how many gas stations, stores or victims were caught up in the alleged scheme, though they estimate the number of victims could be in the hundreds or thousands, Glen Rock police Detective James Calaski said. The investigation is ongoing.
“If suspects are using stolen credit cards in my jurisdiction, they’re usually doing it in other jurisdictions as well,” Calaski said.
Police searched Frias’ residence and place of business Wednesday with a warrant and seized a credit card reading and writer device, fraudulent credit cards, false identification and more than $75,000 in cash.
