Gas prices rise in NJ, around nation amid high crude prices

Published October 16, 2021 12:19 PM EDT

Gas prices jumped up again in New Jersey and across the nation, which analysts attribute to continued high crude oil prices. 

AAA Mid-Atlantic says the average price of a gallon of regular gas in New Jersey on Friday was $3.31, up six cents from a week ago. 

Drivers were paying an average of $2.24 a gallon a year ago at this time. 

The national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline was $3.30, up four cents from last week.
