NJ Gasoline Prices Rise Slightly
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- Motorists are again seeing slightly higher prices at the pumps in New Jersey.
AAA Mid-Atlantic says the average price of regular gasoline in the Garden State on Friday was $3.04, up 2 cents from a week ago.
That's also higher than a year ago, when New Jersey motorists were paying $2.63.
Meanwhile, the national average price rose to $3.12, up 2 cents from last week. That's also higher than the national average from a year ago, which was $2.73.
AAA Mid-Atlantic says the higher pump prices in recent weeks have mostly been caused by rising crude oil prices.
