I'm in California so the state lines are hundreds of miles away - but I
could see this system working if you lived in, say, New York or
Pennsylvania, and all you had to do was cross state lines to get cheap
gas.

I suspect the toll bridges might have special regulations though but
there are plenty of non-bridge crossings which could save you a ton.

When we were kids, we used to do that with liquor, taking advantages of
the differences in state laws. (Uuugh, don't remind me of those days!)

Transporting more than a few bottles of liquor across state lines
which can only be used as gifts is utterly illegal... Alcohol and
tobacco
products are required to have state tax stamps on them which prove
that
they were lawfully obtained and had the taxes paid on them... States
require that you have a proper license and permit to be able to sell
either
of those items...

Transporting either of those commodities across a state line in
quantities
of more than a gallon of hard liquor is a serious federal offense...
