New Jersey Drivers Find Lowest Fuel Prices at Select Stations as Gas Costs Remain Elevated Nationwide
Gas prices across the United States remain under pressure in 2026 due to ongoing global supply concerns and market uncertainty linked to international tensions and oil trade disruptions. Although the United States continues to produce a large amount of its own oil, fuel prices are still heavily influenced by global crude oil trading markets, where even small disruptions in supply routes can impact costs for consumers.
Recent market conditions have kept fuel prices above average for many American drivers. On Friday, April 10, 2026, the national average price of gasoline stood at $4.15 per gallon, showing only slight movement compared to previous days. Earlier in the week, the average was $4.16, while last week it was $4.09. A year ago, drivers were paying significantly less at around $3.22 per gallon, reflecting how much the market has changed over the past 12 months.
In New Jersey, gas prices remain slightly below the national average but still represent a noticeable burden for daily commuters and families. The statewide average currently stands at approximately $4.07 per gallon, according to fuel tracking data.
Despite the broader high-price environment, some stations across New Jersey are offering significantly lower prices, providing relief for drivers who are able to travel to these locations. Data from fuel price monitoring services shows that a few stations are currently offering fuel well below both state and national averages.
On April 10, 2026, the following gas stations reported some of the cheapest fuel prices in New Jersey:
Picerno’s Yardville Fuels in Yardville is offering gasoline at $3.67 per gallon at 4495 South Broad Street.
Fast Track in Yardville is also priced at $3.67 per gallon located at 4165 South Broad Street.
Another Fast Track station in Hamilton is selling fuel at $3.67 per gallon at 4364 South Broad Street.
In North Plainfield, Costco is offering gas at $3.69 per gallon at 1280 U.S. Route 22 East.
AB Trading in Wayne is listed at $3.69 per gallon at 1750 Hamburg Turnpike.
These lower-priced stations stand out in a market where most drivers are paying considerably more. However, fuel prices remain highly dynamic and can change quickly throughout the day based on supply conditions, demand, and regional competition among retailers.
Experts note that even small price differences can significantly impact household transportation budgets, especially for commuters who rely on daily travel. In states like New Jersey, where driving is essential for many residents, finding lower-cost fuel locations can provide meaningful short-term relief.
While prices may continue to fluctuate in the coming weeks, analysts suggest that global oil market stability and supply chain conditions will remain the key factors influencing whether gas prices ease or stay elevated.
