TAMPA, Fla. — Florida gas prices are declining again after a surprise upward turn last week.
- State average down 3 cents from last week
- Florida drivers paying an average of $2.59 per gallon
- Track gas prices in the Bay Area
- National average gas prices
The state average rose a total of 6 cents last week, but has since declined by 3 cents.
Florida drivers are now paying an average price of $2.59 per gallon, an increase of 2 cents from a week ago.
Florida’s average price remains 16 cents less than last month and 22 cents less than a year ago.
“Florida gas prices inexplicably increased last week, despite falling fundamentals like oil and wholesale prices, which would normally lead to lower prices at the pump," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA. "Florida gas prices remain 20 cents less than this year's highest daily price. Florida's state average should be heading toward $2.50 per gallon."
