South Jersey Experiencing Rise in Gas Prices

The recent tension in the Middle East has caused gas prices in in our area to increase.

As recently reported by Courier Post, AAA Mid-Atlantic says the average price of a gallon of regular gas in New Jersey at the end of last week was $2.64, up three cents from the week prior. This time last year, motorists were paying $2.33 a gallon.

However, the decrease in crude oil prices last week could stabilize the gas industry and halt further hikes.

The United States has been embroiled in a dangerous situation with Iran since the January 3rd killing of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps General Qasem Soleimani, ordered by the Trump Administration.
