Less painful to top the tank

Life is good. Stock prices have been rising and gasoline prices have been falling again.
The average price at the pump for a gallon of regular unleaded in New Jersey is down to $2.12 today, according to newjerseyfuelprices.com. http://www.newjerseygasprices.com/. Prices are as low as $1.94 in south Jersey, and I filled up my tank on Route 33 in Neptune yesterday for $2.03. Next time I need gas, I should be able to find it for less than $2.
Prices have dipped about 12 cents a gallon since Christmas, and they are expected to inch still lower, thanks in large part to the warm winter and the reduced demand for home heating oil. It's conceivable prices could drop to their lowest level in nearly three years before heading back up again.
Gas prices in Jersey, by the way, are about 10 cents below the national average, but there are 19 states where it is cheaper, led by Michigan at $1.98, according to AAA. http://www.fuelgaugereport.com/sbsavg.asp.
