2 weeks ahead of holiday, gas prices falling

NEW JERSEY

The price of regular unleaded along New Jersey toll roads dropped six cents Friday morning.

Now, instead of $3.74 a gallon, drivers will only have to pay $3.68.

Typically, the price of gas goes up as summer approaches, but not this year.

The average price has been steadily declining for more than a month, dropping 20 cents.

The highest prices in our area are in Connecticut, where the average is $4.04 a gallon. In New York the average is $4.02.

Motorists are taking note.

"I live on Staten Island, but I try to fill up in Jersey every chance I get," driver Tony Ablavskiy said.
