Gas Prices Could Rise Soon

The honeymoon could soon be over when it comes to the price at the pump.

AAA Mid-Atlantic reports New Jersey's price for a gallon of regular gasoline dropped by $0.01 from a week ago to end at $3.24.  That's $0.04 less than the national average and $0.18 less than the Garden State price a year ago.

The Trenton area reported the highest price at $3.31 per gallon.  Cape May County came in lowest at $3.20.

Industry analysts expect the price of gas to rise this month as refineries reduce production to perform seasonal maintenance.
