There is finally some relief for drivers. Analyst say gas prices have fallen for a record 102 days in a row.
Gas prices are below $2.00 per gallon in Phillipsburg and others stations throughout New Jersey.
"It's just stunning," said motorist James Benjamin.
"I just filled up for under $30," said Benjamin. "It's been a while since that's happened , it's a very long time."
In fact, AAA says we haven't seen prices like this since May of 2009. Analysts cite a drop in crude oil prices.
The national average for regular unleaded gas is $2.17 a gallon. That's $1.12 cents cheaper than the same date last year.
AAA says Americans can save up to $75 billion in 2015 on gas, as long as prices remain low through the year. That savings is expected to pump up the local economy.
However, officials say these prices might not stay this low for too long.
"Don't get a gas guzzler because gas is going to go up but while it's low, enjoy it," said President Obama.
AAA predicts gas might not stay this low throughout 2015. But analysts say the average price at the pump will likely remain below $3.00 this year.
