TAMPA — Despite a small 3-cent uptick, Florida gas prices declined most of last week. The state average Sunday, April 26, of $3.95 per gallon is 7 cents lower than a week ago, 7 cents higher than last month.

“Florida gas prices have seesawed week to week, after peaking earlier this month,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA - The Auto Club Group. “They may move higher again soon, following increases in both oil and wholesale gasoline prices.”

Last week, US oil prices surged $10.55 per barrel (13%), while gasoline futures rose 46 cents per gallon. Those gains reflected ongoing global supply concerns tied to the tensions with Iran and uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz.
