The AAA Auto Club Group is reporting a return to normalcy for gasoline supplies and prices after a chaotic month that included two hurricanes hitting Florida’s Gulf Coast.
According to AAA, the state average price on Sunday was $3.09 per gallon. That’s one cent less than a week ago, 5 cents less than last month, and 16 cents less than this time last year.
“Conditions are much improved compared to this time last week, when retailers struggled to keep their gas pumps stocked, due to the spike in demand from Hurricane Milton,” said AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins. “Just one week later, gasoline supplies are much more stable around the state and Floridians do not have to look far to find fuel.”
Crude oil and gasoline futures prices dropped late last week. The U.S. price for a barrel of crude was $69.22 on Friday – down more than $6 (8%) from the week before, and the lowest daily settlement since late September. This should help keep a ceiling on prices at the pump in the near future.
