Do you remember the last time gas was under two dollars a gallon? Experts say it was more than 5 years ago.
In Edison, New Jersey, Middlesex County, cars waited in long lines to fill up for $1.67 a gallon.
"Earlier I stopped by and I was like I got to pass by here on the way home and I did, it's awesome," said one motorist.
AAA says this is the cheapest gas has been since 2009.
Experts say it's because of more competition among oil producers.
So you me be asking yourself, if you live in the Lehigh Valley, is it worth your while to drive more than 70 miles to fill up in where the gas is cheapest in New Jersey?
If you fill up an average sized car for $1.67 a gallon in Middlesex County, it will cost you around $25.
In the Lehigh Valley, at around $2.40 a gallon, it will cost you around $36.
However, when you drive more than 2 hours to fill up, you pretty much break even.
Gas is expected to climb down to $1.25 a gallon in New Jersey. While Lehigh Valley prices won't get that down low, experts say relief is on the way.
