Gas prices continue to fall in NJ, around nation
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Gas prices continue to fall in New Jersey and around the nation amid lower crude oil prices and lower-than-usual demand as the end of the summer driving season approaches.
AAA Mid-Atlantic says the average price of a gallon of regular gas in New Jersey on Friday was $4.10, down 10 cents from last week. Drivers were paying $3.19 a gallon on average a year ago at this time.
The national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline was $3.91, down six cents from last week. Drivers were paying $3.17 a gallon on average a year ago at this time.
Analysts say falling prices at the pump may eventually lure more drivers back onto the road, but that hasn't happened yet — instead, many are waiting for prices to fall further before resuming their usual driving habits.
