New Jersey Drivers Seeing Lower Prices At Pump This Labor Day Weekend 

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Drivers in New Jersey and around the nation are seeing prices at the pump far lower this Labor Day weekend than in years past. AAA Mid-Atlantic says the average price of a gallon of regular gas in New Jersey on Friday was $2.61, five cents lower than last week and substantially below the average $2.86 at this time last year.

The national average gas price Friday was $2.58 a gallon, two cents lower than last week and also well below the average of $2.83 at this time last year.

Analysts say lower crude prices and an increase in gasoline supply mean gas prices lower than during the Memorial Day and Independence Day holidays - and for many 25 cents a gallon lower than they were just a year ago.
