Florida Gas Prices Dip to Lowest Point Since March, 59 Cents Less Than One Year Ago

Florida drivers saw some relief at the pump last week, as gas prices dropped 11 cents, bringing the state average to $3.002 per gallon on Sunday—the lowest daily average since March 24. According to AAA – The Auto Club Group, that price is two cents lower than a month ago and 59 cents less than this time last year, when prices averaged $3.594 per gallon.

“An 11-cent drop may not turn heads, but every little bit adds up for drivers navigating the road and their budgets,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesperson for AAA.
