The price of regular unleaded gasoline along New Jersey toll roads went up Friday morning for the fourth straight week after 10 weeks of decline.
The price of regular unleaded along the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway increased 2 cents.
Now, instead of $3.47 a gallon, drivers will have to pay $3.49.
The average price had been steadily declining for 10 weeks, dropping 42 cents before the trend reversed itself. The prices have regained 23 cents in the past four weeks.
Gas prices only increase once a week on the two highways, maintained by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority. The Authority surveys 100 gas stations, located off the highway, every Wednesday and Thursday to determine an average statewide price, and implements the increases Friday morning. The service area per-gallon cost cannot be more than 3 cents above that average price.

This is a very misleading story as prices on the NJ toll roads are soley based on prices OFF the toll roads so if you use your brains, something the media is missing, you will know the gas prices were going up L
