U.S. Gas Prices Hit Highest Since 2014
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Gas prices rose again in New Jersey and around the nation amid the Ukraine conflict, and analysts say prices remain at their highest level since 2014. AAA Mid-Atlantic says the average price of a gallon of regular gas in New Jersey on Friday was $3.63, up two cents from last week. Drivers were paying an average of $2.79 a gallon a year ago at this time. Analysts say a decision to withhold Russian oil from the global market in retaliation for financial sanctions imposed by the United States and its allies would eventually mean higher gas prices for U.S. drivers.
