Gas prices increased once again in New Jersey and around the nation amid concerns about the effect of rising COVID-19 infection rates on demand.
AAA Mid-Atlantic says the average price of a gallon of regular gas in New Jersey on Friday was $3.20 up a penny from a week ago. Drivers were paying an average of $2.17 a gallon a year ago at this time.
The national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline was $3.18 up two cents from last week and exactly $1 more than drivers were paying on average a year ago at this time.
Analysts say the rise in COVID-19 cases worldwide may push crude prices higher, leading to an increase in prices at the pump.
