Now seems like a top-notch time to drive in novel Jersey. Or at least pay for gas to get around.
While prices at the pump acquire fallen across the nation — as much as a dollar drop compared to a year ago — they are significantly lower in the Garden State,according to AAA Mid-Atlantic.
On Sunday, the national average was $2.48 per gallon, and according to Tracy E. Noble,a spokesperson for the auto club. In novel Jersey, it was approximately $2.20 per gallon.
AAA attributes the drop in gas prices to sagging crude oil prices.
For those who drive for a living, or it is a welcome relief. It amounts to hundreds of dollars in savings for people like Ed Thacker,owner of the Hasbrouck Heights-based Silver Cloud Limousine Service. His drivers easily drive 200 miles per day carrying clients to novel York, novel Jersey and Pennsylvania.“It impacts the bottom line because you can’t bill a customer for fuel, or he said.
He paid $1.97 per gallon for gas on Sunday. That’s 27-cents cheaper for a gallon than he paid in July.
Rudy and Lillian de la Cruz of Yonkers said they saved approximately $14 to fill their gas tank in Englewood on Sunday,compared to what they normally pay near home.
AAA projects the drop will hold steady into the fall.
