"This is big, almost 40 cent difference in the drop in price. It's really a big blessing," Cynthia Jones Taylor of Edgewater Park, New Jersey said.
AAA says the average price of a gallon of regular gas nationwide today is $3.80. In New Jersey that's dropped almost 30 cents over the last month making folks like Tray Marino, who drives a gas-guzzling truck, practically giddy.
"A couple weeks ago it was $110, now it's down to $80. That's real good. I'm happy, I hope it gets lower," Marino said.
"It's good news for motorists in New Jersey. We are 10 cents cheaper than the national average, but still $1.06 more than last year," Tracy Noble of AAA said.
A random check of stations along the Route 130 corridor show big variations.
The Gas Stop in Delran was selling regular for as low as $3.43 a gallon, while s LUKOIL in Cinnaminson was getting $3.65.
Thankfully, gas has come down from the $4 mark, but boy, it's certainly a sign of the times when people are happy to pay over $3.50 a gallon for regular.
