Wayne, N.J., January 30, 2023 — New Jersey’s average gas price increased by eight cents to today’s price of $3.45/gallon ($3.37). A month ago, the average price was $3.28, while it was $3.42 a year ago.
AAA Northeast’s January 30th survey of fuel prices found the current national average to be $3.50, up eight cents from last week ($3.42). The national average was $3.17 a month ago, and $3.36 a year ago.
“January’s weather was relatively mild in much of the nation, which led to more drivers hitting the road. However, a return of wintery conditions in February may see a revival of seasonal driving patterns,” said Robert Sinclair Jr., Senior Manager of Public Affairs for AAA Northeast. “But with the cost of oil stubbornly hovering around $80 per barrel, drivers probably won’t catch a big break at the pump over the next week or two.”
Gas prices increased around the region as well. The average price in Connecticut and New York increased seven cents to $3.35 ($3.28) and $3.57 ($3.50), respectively. Pennsylvania drivers saw the highest increase – nine cents – to today’s price of $3.79 ($3.70).
