TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Motorists are seeing slightly higher prices at the pumps in New Jersey.
AAA
Mid-Atlantic says the average price of regular gasoline in New Jersey
on Friday was $3.65, up a penny from last week. That's also higher than
the price from a year ago, when motorists were paying $3.50.
Meanwhile,
the national average price rose by a penny to $3.73. That's also higher
than the national average from a year ago, which was $3.58.
Analysts
say the higher prices are mostly due to rising crude oil prices,
refinery issues across the nation and simmering tensions in the Middle
East.
