New Jersey is among the country's three cheapest states for gas prices.

After a sharp increase in the national average of gas prices during the month of February, the national average has fallen for much of the last three weeks.

The American Automobile Association (AAA) said the average price of gasoline has dropped for 17 of the last 23 days through March 30. The national average for regular unleaded gasoline is currently $2.40 per gallon, according to the AAA Fuel Gauge Report.

“While prices over the past month are higher for many drivers, year-over-year price comparisons continue to highlight universal savings,” the Fuel Guage Report said. “Sharply lower oil prices have resulted in substantially less expensive gas prices in every state, including a price at the pump that is discounted by $1 or more per gallon in 43 states and Washington, D.C.”
