Here's how New Jersey's prices stack up against neighboring states.
New Jersey could see a sharp increase in fuel prices as soon as Friday, if a deal to increase the state's gas tax is approved.
But what does that mean for out-of-state drivers who stop in the Garden State for low prices at the pump?
"I don't think it will do anything to anybody," said Cathleen Lewis, a spokeswoman for AAA in New Jersey.
The proposed 23-cent increase will mean it costs a couple extra bucks to fill up, but it will still be cheaper than two of New Jersey's three bordering states, according to data from the travel group.
The state Assembly voted early Tuesday on a plan to raise the tax on gasoline sold in New Jersey by 23 cents a gallon, while also dropping the sales tax over time and boosting the income tax exemption for retirement income.
The proposal faces an uncertain future when it goes to state Senate on Thursday. If approved, Gov. Chris Christie could sign it into law as soon as Friday.
The average New Jersey price Wednesday was about $2.10 per gallon, and even with the increase it would still be well below the approximately $2.60 state average at this time last year, according to AAA's data. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania drivers are paying $2.44 per gallon on average, one cent above New York.

The agency predicts 43 million drivers nationwide will hit the road for Independence Day weekend, amid national gas prices at an 11-year low.
Lewis said an increase in New Jersey's prices is unlikely to deter anyone's weekend plans.
"I think you're going to see people make the adjustment very quickly," she said.
