E-z pass for foreigners?

I did a couple of searches but couldn't come up with anything recent, so I think it's time for another thread.

I'm a Swedish citizen that will spend time in the US on and off this year as part of my work. I will probably be in the US for 2-3 weeks at the time and driving around on the east coast. I just hate the idea of having to pay the rental companies extra fees for E-Z passes and I also don't like the idea of manually paying tolls.

So, my idea was to get my own E-Z pass and use it in my rentals. My question is really, does anyone know if this is possible?

I called the NJ E-Z pass authority today and they claimed that it isn't possible to use ones own tag in a rental car (contrary to what their web page says!). When I pointed out that their FAQ said otherwise, I got a fair bit of attitude back.
