Gas Prices Lower in Florida as Fall Begins

Gas prices in Florida fell last week, a new study from AAA shows.

AAA noted the average gallon of gas in Florida cost $3.61 on Sunday, down eight cents from the start of last week. The national average stood at $3.85 a gallon on Sunday.

“The end of the summer driving season has resulted in lower gasoline demand, so far in September,” said Mark Jenkins, a spokesman for AAA and the Auto Club Group. “This has enabled gas prices to move lower, even as the price of oil hovers at 2023 highs.”

AAA maintained there are signs that gas prices could continue to drop in the coming days.

“The U.S. price of crude set a new 2023 high of $91.48 per barrel on Monday, then settled at $90.03 by the end of the week. Meanwhile, gasoline futures dropped nearly 20 cents per gallon, which should allow retail prices to move lower this week,” AAA noted.

The West Palm Beach-Boca Raton area had the most expensive gas in the state, with an average of $3.78 a gallon, followed by Naples at $3.70 a gallon and Port St. Lucie at $3.66 a gallon.

Pensacola had the least expensive gas in the state with an average of $3.42 a gallon, followed by the Crestview-Fort Walton Beach area at $3.43 a gallon and Panama City at $3.47 a gallon.
