AAA: New Jersey Average Gas Price Jumps Six Cents

Posted on April 25, 2022

Wayne, N.J., April 25, 2022 — New Jersey’s average gas price rose six cents this week to $4.10 ($4.04). Today’s average price is down 11 cents from a month ago ($4.21), but is still $1.19 higher than April 25, 2021. New Jersey’s average price is two cents cheaper than the National average.

 

The national average price for a gallon of gas is up four cents this week to $4.12 ($4.08), which is 12 cents cheaper than a month ago ($4.24), and $1.24 higher than this date in 2021 ($2.88).

 

The recent dip in pump prices has reversed, with the national average for a gallon of regular gas rising four cents over the past week to $4.12. Upward pricing pressure on concerns that less Russian oil will enter the global market is countered by fears of a COVID-induced economic slowdown in China, the world’s leading oil consumer. These opposing forces are causing the oil price to hover around $100 a barrel.

 

“As long as the price of oil stays elevated, the price at the pump will struggle to fall,” said Robert Sinclair Jr., Senior Manager of Public Affairs for AAA Northeast. “Consumers may be catching a little break from March’s record-high prices, but don’t expect any dramatic drops.”

 

Average gas prices were up around the region as well – the average price in Connecticut is $4.00, up 10 cents from last week ($3.90); $4.23 in New York, up five cents from a week ago ($4.18), and $4.20 in Pennsylvania, up four cents from last week ($4.16).
