Single Gas Price - 2.97.png

Florida's gas price average dropped below $3 a gallon this week. Sunday's state average was $2.97 per gallon. That's 2 cents less than the 2024 low and the lowest daily average price since December 2023. 

Sunday's state average was 13 cents less than the week before, 13 cents less than a month ago, and 55 cents less than this time last year. The average cost to fill a 15-gallon gas tank is $44.55. That's $8.25 less than what drivers paid a year ago.      

"Low oil prices and strong gasoline production numbers have helped push gas prices to lows not seen in more than a year," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. "However, it's not clear how much lower prices will go. Springtime factors like refinery maintenance, strong demand, and the switch to summer gasoline typically keep upward pressure on prices at the pump."

More than 70% of Florida filling stations are now selling gasoline for less than $3 a gallon. The lowest 10% of gas prices are averaging $2.76 per gallon. The highest 10% of gas prices average $3.35 per gallon.

The settlement prices for U.S. price have remained below $70 a barrel since the end of February.
