TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Motorists continue to see lower prices at the pumps in New Jersey.
AAA Mid-Atlantic says the average price of a gallon of regular gasoline in the state on Friday was $3.51, down 4 cents from last week. That’s also lower than the price from a year ago, when motorists were paying $3.59.
This marks the second straight week that gas prices have fallen in New Jersey.
The national average price was $3.59, down 4 cents from last week. That’s also less than the national average from a year ago, when motorists were paying $3.67.
Analysts say stable crude oil prices have spurred the lower pump prices.
