    Rock bottom Jersey gas prices hang on, but for how long?
    Like that scene in a movie where the governor grants a last minute stay of execution to an inmate on death row, cheap gas prices got a brief reprieve in New Jersey. Prices are at rock bottom levels, with one station in Little Ferry breaking the $1.30 line with a $1.29 price, according to GasBuddy.com. But there are storm clouds on the horizon.
