Gas Prices Reach a New Years High

Drivers nationwide rang in the New Year paying the highest price for gas on record for the holiday period:  $3.32 per gallon.

AAA Mid-Atlantic says the nationwide average has since risen to $3.33.  That's $0.01 less than our average here in New Jersey.

We were paying $3.31 per gallon a week ago and $3.35 this time last year.  The Trenton area reported the highest prices at $3.37 per gallon, while Cape May County came in with the lowest at $3.33.
