Gas prices jump 6 cents on New Jersey toll roads

  Eyewitness NewsTRENTON, N.J. (WABC) -- After several months of gas prices going up, we're seeing an unsettled trend in New Jersey.

One week after gas prices dropped six cents from $3.82 to $3.76 along the New Tersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway, they jumped back up six cents Friday morning.

Analysts expected lower prices at the pump, mostly due to falling crude oil prices and stations switching over to less expensive winter blends.

The price of regular unleaded gasoline went up after two week of decline. That followed 10 straight week of price hikes after10 weeks of decline leading up to summer.

The highways offer some of the cheaper gas in the area, and motorists are taking note.

"I live on Staten Island, but I try to fill up in Jersey every chance I get," driver Tony Ablavskiy said.

Gas prices only increase once a week on the two highways, maintained by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority. The Authority surveys 100 gas stations, located off the highway, every Wednesday and Thursday to determine an average statewide price, and implements the increases Friday morning. The service area per-gallon cost cannot be more than 3 cents above that average price.

Gas prices down slightly in New Jersey

  Eyewitness NewsTRENTON, N.J. (WABC) -- After several months of gas prices going up, we're seeing a new trend starting to settle in with lower prices.

Gas prices dropped six cents from $3.82 to $3.76 a gallon along the New Tersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway Friday morning.

Analysts say the lower prices at the pump are mostly due to falling crude oil prices and stations switching over to less expensive winter blends.

The price of regular unleaded gasoline along New Jersey toll roads dropped for the second straight week after 10 straight week of price hikes. That followed 10 weeks of decline leading up to summer.

LukOil stations charge $9 a gallon to protest prices

  Eyewitness NewsNEWARK (WABC) -- Motorists might be in for a shock at the price of gasoline at some LukOil stations in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

More than 50 franchise owners raised their prices to nearly $9 a gallon Wednesday morning to protest what they say is the company's unjustified pricing policies.

Sal Risalvato, of the New Jersey Gasoline Convenience-Automotive Association, says that LukOil dealers have to charge more because they pay between 5 and 20 cents more than competitors.

Risalvato says the company has been slow to respond to requests to lower prices.

"Today, a group of LUKOIL franchisees stood together to defend their small businesses and motorists in order to vocally oppose the anti-competitive treatment they and their customers receive at the hands of LUKOIL North America," Risalvato said in a statement. "Their grievances have gone unanswered and unheeded for too long now, leaving them with little recourse."

After they make their point, the dealers plan to reduce prices to a more normal level.

The price of regular unleaded along the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway increased 1 cent.

New Jersey gas prices still rising

  Eyewitness NewsTRENTON, N.J. -- Motorists are still seeing higher prices at the pumps in New Jersey.

AAA Mid-Atlantic says the average price of regular gasoline in New Jersey on Friday was $3.69, up 4 cents from last week.

That's also higher than the price from a year ago, when motorists were paying $3.54.

Meanwhile, the national average price rose by 10 cents to $3.83.

That's also higher than the national average from a year ago, which was $3.62.

Analysts say the higher prices are mostly due to Hurricane Isaac's impact on refinery capabilities in the Gulf of Mexico, where hundreds of oil platforms and rigs were shut down due to the storm.

But they expect prices will start falling in the coming weeks, as demand decreases and stations switch to less expensive winter blends.
