New Jersey's average gas price for a gallon of regular unleaded was $1.95 last week, down four cents from a week earlier and down 55 cents from a year ago.
Nationally, the average price was $2.14, also down 4 cents from a week ago and down 55 cents from a year ago.
Nationally, gas prices are at their lowest mark for this date since 2004.
AAA says prices are expected to remain low for the rest of the summer.
