Parsippany Gas Nears $5: Cheapest Deals At The Pump In Town

PARSIPPANY, NJ — Gas prices nationwide aren't good, and holiday-weekend prices are unlikely to help. But drivers don't have to fill at just any pump.

GasBuddy outlines the gas prices available at stations in any locale, including Parsippany. While no gas station is particularly affordable compared to past prices, picking the right pump can offer consumers a bit of savings.

New Jersey gas averaged $4.77 per gallon Tuesday, while the national average totaled $4.60, according to AAA. The state's average gas price rose 16 cents in the past week, setting up the possibility for more $5 pumps on the way to the Jersey Shore or other destinations this weekend.

The rise in gas prices continues but appears to be slowing down, according to Patrick De Haan, GasBuddy's head of petroleum analysis. And that could set up some not-so-fun summer memories at the pump.

"While the coast isn't clear yet," De Haan said, "and prices will be at their highest Memorial Day level ever, I'm hopeful that we could avoid a dreaded national average of $5 per gallon this year. Whether or not we're able to depends on Americans cutting demand in the face of sky high prices."
