New Jersey reportedly has the fourth highest gas tax in the nation. While the Garden State continues to pay over $4 a gallon at the pump, lawmakers are turning their attention towards temporarily lowering that tax.
The spike in New Jersey pricing has not been as steep compared to the rest of the United States, over which the national average cost of a gallon of regular has risen 26 cents since March 7 to $4.32, just a penny better than the Garden State.
