NJ yanking state-issued gas cards

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - February 18, 2009

The cards were issued for emergency purposes only - for instance, when workers run low on in a state-issued vehicle.

But officials say the cards were frequently used at retail fueling stations, such as Shell or ExxonMobil, which are easier to find but more expensive than state-owned gas stations.

Now, state employees driving for work will be required to fill up at New Jersey's 72 state-owned filling stations.

Officials say it will save New Jersey 77 cents per gallon pumped.
