Meanwhile, the national average price rose by two cents t0 $3.56. That's also much higher than the national average from a year ago, which was $2.81.
AAA Mid-Atlantic says pump prices in New Jersey have remained relatively stable over the past two weeks despite the volatile crude oil market, which continues to fluctuate daily due to the tumultuous situation in Libya and other global concerns, including Japan's ongoing recovery from the recent earthquake
