AAA Mid-Atlantic says the national average price of regular gas Friday was $2.84 a gallon, unchanged from the previous week. The national average a year ago was $2.45 a gallon.

The average price in New Jersey was $2.86, also unchanged from the previous week. Motorists were paying $2.46 for gas in New Jersey at this time last year.
