TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Gas prices have shown little movement over the last week in New Jersey and across the nation but remain far below the levels seen a year ago.
AAA Mid-Atlantic says the average price of a gallon of regular gas in New Jersey on Friday was $2.17, down a penny from the week before. Drivers were paying $2.76 a gallon at this time last year.
The national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline was $2.18, unchanged from the previous week. The national average was $2.69 at this time a year ago.
Analysts say this summer is “no doubt the cheapest at the pump for motorists in more than a decade,” and prices aren’t expected to spike for the rest of the month - especially amid increases in COVID-19 cases.
