If you've noticed gas prices creeping up in New Jersey, you're not alone. Luckily, you can still find gas under $2.60 a gallon in many parts of the state.

I don't know about you, but I watch the signs at the gas stations along my commute every single day, even if I'm not getting gas. We all know that when one station raises its prices, others will usually do the same.

And since saving every penny that you can these days all adds up, finding the cheapest gas in your neighborhood can feel like a small victory, especially since it was only four years ago that gas was well over $4.30/gallon in New Jersey.
