Why is gas so expensive in New Jersey?
I just arrived in New Jersey from the South to visit a friend, and one of the first things I noticed was that gas prices are way higher. Why is gas so expensive in New Jersey?

Gas prices are all over the board in the states, but the one thing they all have in common is that they are at a historic high.
The reason why gas is so expensive in
New Jersey
is a combination of factors, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine and supply and demand issues. Currently, a gallon of regular gas will run you an average of $4.85 in New Jersey, and it’s about the middle of the road when it comes to national prices. It’s more than
Arkansas
at $4.40 a gallon but less than what California
is staring down at $6.30 a gallon.Jerry
