NEW JERSEY (PIX11) – New Jersey’s gas tax is set to go up this weekend by nearly a penny per gallon.
The state will collect just more than 42 cents per gallon and more than 49 cents on diesel starting Sunday.
The increase makes it the seventh-highest rate in the country.
A state law enacted in 2016 requires the rate to be adjusted each October to ensure funding for infrastructure improvements.
