Florida Gas Prices Rose 18 Cents Last Week

Posted

Florida gas prices rose 18 cents last week, then declined 6 cents through the weekend. Friday's daily average of $4.42 per gallon was the highest since May. 

"Gasoline prices bounced higher last week, in response to oil price gains the week before," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA - The Auto Club Group. "Fortunately, oil prices moved lower last week. That could ease some of the upward pressure on prices at the pump."

The U.S. price for crude oil settled at $92 a barrel on Friday, down from $100 a barrel (-8%) the week before. 

Sunday's state average of $4.37 per gallon is: 

  • 7 cents more than a week ago
  • 41 cents more than last month
  • $1.42 per gallon more than last year 

The average driver currently pays $65 to fill their gas tank. Last year at this time, the average cost for a fill-up was $44.

What are AAA's gasoline conservation and cost savings tips? 

  • Combine errands to limit driving time.
  • Drive conservatively. Avoid aggressive acceleration and speeding. This reduces fuel economy.
  • Remove excess weight in your vehicle. Every 100 pounds can lower fuel economy by 1-2 percent.
  • Shop around for the best gas prices in your community by using the AAA mobile app.
  • Pay with cash. Some retailers charge more per gallon for customers who pay with a credit card.
