Gasoline prices in Florida drop to lowest point since February | Florida News | Orlando

Gasoline prices in Florida are at their lowest levels since February, according to the AAA auto club.

Motorists on Monday paid an average of $3.44 for a gallon of regular unleaded gas, down from $3.52 a week earlier and $3.68 a month earlier.

“The oil market finished flat last week, which should enable the state average to continue moving lower,” AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins said in a prepared statement. “Unless fundamentals shift, Florida’s average gas price should fall into the $3.30s this week.”

The average price reached a high of $4.89 a gallon on June 13, before starting a steady decline. The price Monday, however, was higher than the $3-a-gallon average a year ago.

The state’s most-expensive gas Monday was in the West Palm Beach, Tallahassee and Naples markets. The cheapest gas was in the Fort Walton Beach, Pensacola and Panama City markets, according to AAA.
