Florida Gas Prices Lowering After Going Up Last Week Thanks to Higher Oil Prices

Gas prices in the Sunshine State saw a bit of a bumpy ride last week, according to new information from AAA.

“Florida gas prices increased last week, but are moving lower once again. After tying the 2023-low of $3.22 per gallon last Monday, the state average shot up 10 cents to $3.32 per gallon, by Wednesday. The increase was in response to the rise in crude oil prices, which occurred two weeks ago,” AAA noted. Fortunately, crude oil prices fell last week, and gas prices are doing the same. Florida’s state average declined 4 cents per gallon, Friday-Sunday. The state average was $3.29 per gallon on Sunday.”

Prices at the pump in Florida remain below the national average, which stood at $3.50 a gallon on Sunday.

The West Palm Beach-Boca Raton area had the most expensive gas in the state with an average of $3.48 a gallon, followed by Naples at $3.35 a gallon and Tallahassee at $3.34 a gallon.

Pensacola had the least expensive gas in the state at $3.06 a gallon, followed by the Crestview-Fort Walton area at $3.09 a gallon and Panama City at $3.18 a gallon.
