Gas prices tick up in NJ, increase around nation at large

TRENTON, N.J. - Gas prices ticked up again in New Jersey and also increased around the nation as a whole as Gulf Coast refineries remain shuttered following recent storms.

Drivers were paying an average of $2.20 a gallon a year ago at this time. 

The national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline was $3.19 up two cents from last week.
