New Jersey drivers can expect a little bit of relief on gas prices on Friday.
The state gas tax is scheduled to drop by 8.3 cents beginning Oct. 1. That decrease is in accordance with a 2016 state statute that requires funds to support New Jersey's Transportation Trust Fund.
That decrease in tax means that New Jersey will go from having the fourth-highest gas tax in the country to the 11th – according to the Tax Foundation.
