NJ Gas Prices Still Falling Sharply

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Motorists continue to see sharply lower prices at the pumps in New Jersey.

AAA Mid-Atlantic says the average price of a gallon of regular gas in the state on Friday was $1.94, down 9 cents from last week. That's also much lower than the price from a year ago, when motorists were paying $3.25.

The national average price on Friday was $2.04, down 4 cents from last week. That's also much lower than the national average from a year ago, when motorists were paying $3.29.

Analysts say the lower prices are mainly due to falling crude oil prices.
