New Jersey gas prices still falling

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 $2.16, down 11 cents from last week. That’s also much lower than the price from a year ago, when motorists were paying $3.33.

The national average price on Friday was $2.17, down 6 cents from last week. That’s also much lower than the national average from a year ago, when motorists were paying $3.31.

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