TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Drivers in New Jersey and around the nation are still seeing lower gas prices as the summer driving season wanes.
AAA Mid-Atlantic says the average price of a gallon of regular gas in New Jersey on Friday was $2.70, four cents lower than last week and well below the average $2.88 at this time last year.
The national average gas price Friday was $2.63 a gallon, also four cents lower than last week and also below the average of $2.84 at this time last year.
Analysts say demand for gasoline increased but an increase in gasoline stocks helped keep gas prices lower across the nation and in the Garden State, where prices are about 20 cents lower than they were on Memorial Day.
