TRENTON, NJ (AP) – Gas prices remained stable in New Jersey and around the nation last week, and analysts say they could fall slightly in the coming days.

AAA Mid-Atlantic says the average price of a gallon of regular gasoline in New Jersey on Friday was $ 2.78, a penny lower than last week and significantly below the $ 2.90 average at this time last year.

The national average gasoline price on Friday was $ 2.72 per gallon, down two cents from last week and well below the $ 2.87 average at this time last year.

Analysts say drivers could see prices fall in the coming days after an 8 percent drop in crude oil prices late last week.
