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 $2.90, down 6 cents from last week. That’s also much lower than the price from a year ago, when motorists were paying $3.19.
This marks the sixth straight week that gas prices have fallen in New Jersey.
The national average price on Friday was $3.07, down 7 cents from last week. That’s also much lower than the national average from a year ago, when motorists were paying $3.33.
Analysts say the falling gas prices are due to decreased demand and lower crude oil prices.
