NJ Gas Prices

After falling for months, gas prices are spiking in New Jersey as voters head to the polls this week.

The most expensive gas in the state is currently in the Trenton area, at nearly $3.75/gallon, while the cheapest can be found in Bergen, Passaic, and Warren counties, all around $3.63.

Prices have been steadily declining since reaching a peak price of $5.05 a gallon last June, although the pace of decline has slowed a bit in New Jersey.

AAA says New Jersey is among the 10 states with the biggest decline in the last week, down 13 cents a gallon.

Regular gas is averaging $3.81 per gallon in New Jersey, down two cents from Monday, and down 12 cents in the last week.

AAA puts the average for regular at $4.91 a gallon in the Garden State. That's off eight cents from a week ago, but still 16 cents higher than a month ago.

Gas prices in New Jersey have continued their steady decline and have now dropped below $5 per gallon for regular.

The amount of the family budget going to gas prices continues to increase as the average price for regular now tops $5 a gallon nationwide.

After taking a pause before the long Memorial Day weekend, gas prices have resumed their march upward.

According to AAA, gas prices have set another record high to start the week.
