Motorists are seeing lower prices at the pumps in New Jersey.
AAA Mid-Atlantic says the average price of regular gasoline in New Jersey on Friday was $3.19, down 4 cents from last week. But that’s still much higher than it was a year ago, when motorists were paying $2.87.
Meanwhile, the national average price fell 2 cents to $3.29. That’s also much higher than the national average from a year ago, which was $2.88.
Experts note that gas prices have fallen even though crude oil prices rose more than 4 percent this week after a series of developments suggested that higher oil demand and tighter global supplies lay ahead.

Gas prices are falling everywhere in the US because of a stronger dollar (thanks to the European’s incompetence, nothing the US deserves credit for), fallling demand (recessions are good at that), and that the US has finally become self-sufficient in energy so gas imports aren’t messing up our economy (Obama wants to restrict domestic production, so this is subject to change).
In Lakewood, on Route 9 South, BP gas was at 2.95
No. 1: What is the source of your statement that “the US has finally become self-sufficient in energy …”? That might be the wrongest thing I have ever read on YWN, or anywhere else for that matter.
