Fuel prices have been steadily decreasing across New Jersey, down several cents from last week.
Gas in New Jersey has been decreasing for weeks now, AAA says. Gas in North Jersey is around $3.70 a gallon, down 12 cents from last week. South Jersey is sitting around $3.68 a gallon, down 13 cents from last week. 
"I was dropping $100 in this thing every other day, now I'm down to about $65,” says Josh Remington, of Hammonton.
Remington is really feeling the difference, especially in his big truck, but it's also helping business owners such as Dave Hoh, with Dave Doh's Home Comfort and Energy Experts.
"I have several other vehicles that are like big trucks that use regular gasoline and that was crippling,” says Doh. “You're talking tanks of those were over $200 to fill up."
AAA says the national average gallon of gas sits around $3.71, down a few cents from last week.
