TRENTON (AP) -- Motorists continue to see lower prices at the pumps in New Jersey.

AAA Mid-Atlantic says the average price of a gallon of regular gas in the state on Friday was $2.32, down 5 cents from last week. That's also much lower than the price from a year ago, when motorists were paying $3.27.

This marks the ninth straight week that pump prices have fallen in New Jersey.
