Locally, Barnegat residents are catching up to their neighbors with sharing the burden of these over-inflated prices. As predicted last week with midgrade approaching the $4.00 dollar mark, regular is on a similar path, and with the way things are going we should expect to see it hit the $4.00 dollar mark sometime in the next two weeks.
Looking back a year ago, the national average was approximately $2.90 for a gallon of regular, that’s well over a dollar in one year. Maybe if all things prevail in the political realm we will at least see these prices capped or revert to their less burdening start of the year prices.
