Gasoline price gouging: The Governor's declaration of a State of Emergency activates New Jersey's price gouging law.  This law protects consumers who are preparing to evacuate or taking other action to protect themselves before an emergency, or preparing to recover after an emergency. 

The law prohibits the sale of merchandise, including fuel, at an "excessive price increase" during the State of Emergency or within 30 days of the termination of the State of Emergency. 

An excessive price increase is defined as an increase of 10 or more percent above the price at which the good or service was sold immediately prior to the State of Emergency; or, if there are costs imposed by the seller's supplier or additional costs of providing the goods, a price of 10 percent in the markup from cost, compared to the markup ordinarily applied by the seller.

New Jersey law also prohibits gas stations from changing the retail price of motor fuel more than once in a 24 hour period. 

To report violations or complaints, consumers should contact the Division of Consumer Affairs at 1-800-242-5846 or www.NJConsumerAffairs.com.
