TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - It's costing New Jersey motorists more at the gasoline pump, but drivers in neighboring states are still paying higher prices.
AAA Mid-Atlantic says the average price of regular hit $2.51 in the Garden State on Sunday, which is up from $2.15 a month ago but lower than $3.99 in 2008. Overall, New Jersey's current price is the fourth cheapest nationwide.
"We're not expecting dramatic price swings like we experienced last summer, but small daily increases through July 4 are likely," auto club spokesman David Weinstein said.
The last time the price of gas was this high in New Jersey was Oct. 29, 2008, when the average price was $2.52.
AAA says the average price of regular costs $2.80 in New York, $2.78 in Connecticut and $2.65 in Pennsylvania.
