Cheap NJ gas? Low prices about to get lower
Are we really on the verge of $1.50 gas by the end of the year?
Heck, we're awfully close now.
GasBuddy.com, which collects gas data from all over, is showing prices for regular gas as little as $1.73 Tuesday, with many of the cheapest stations in New Jersey centered around the Edison area.
Jeff Pelton of GasBuddy.com told New Jersey 101.5 last week prices could dip below $1.50 before 2015's out.
"Come Christmastime, the prices people should see are going to be eye-popping," he said.
The annual switch from summer blends of gasoline to cheaper, winter blends of gasoline happens today — so we should start seeing prices fall quickly. Pelton's also said a downtick in demand and an oversupply of crude oil will help.
