Gas prices dipped a bit in New Jersey and dropped further around the nation at large despite a rise in crude oil prices. 

AAA Mid-Atlantic says the average price of a gallon of regular gas in New Jersey on Friday was $3.18, down a penny from a week ago. 

Drivers were paying an average of $2.22 a gallon a year ago at this time. 

The national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline was $3.14, down three cents from last week.
