AAA Mid-Atlantic: New Jersey gas prices rise sharply
Motorists continue to see sharply higher 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 $1.97, up 10 cents from last week. But that’s still lower than the price from a year ago, when motorists were paying $2.18.
This marks the seventh straight week that pump prices have risen in New Jersey.
The national average price on Friday was $2.11, up 7 cents from last week. But that’s still lower than the national average from a year ago, when motorists were paying $2.39.
Analysts say gas prices should remain relatively steady in the coming weeks, barring any major supply disruptions or shortages.
