Florida Gas Prices Dip Below $3
AAA: FLORIDA’S AVERAGE GAS PRICE BRIEFLY DIPS BELOW $3 A GALLON
TAMPA, FL— Florida gas prices averaged $3.10 per gallon on Sunday. The state average is a half cent less than a week ago and 4 cents less than last month, yet it’s 5 cents more than this time last year.
“Florida gas prices don’t hold still for very long,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “The state average moved lower through the week. By Friday, it dropped below $3, but rebounded through the weekend. Gas prices typically move lower through the winter months, because of colder weather, lower demand, and gasoline supply gains. These factors will likely help push gasoline back below $3 a gallon this month.”
Friday’s average price of $2.99 per gallon was the lowest daily average price since Monday, January 22, 2024.
Domestic crude oil prices dropped 1% from the week before. Gasoline futures were also down by 4 cents.
