Florida’s average gas price is below $3 a gallon for the first time this year. The state average was $2.99 per gallon on Sunday. That’s the lowest daily average price since December 20th.
“The state average has plummeted more than 16 cents in the past two weeks,” said AAA Auto Club Group spokesman Mark Jenkins. “Plunging temps across the country contributes to lower fuel demand, which normally leads to excess fuel supplies and lower prices. More than 70% of filling stations now have gas prices below $3 a gallon.”
Metro areas with the most expensive areas for gas in Florida were the West Palm Beach – Boca Raton metro market, where prices average $3.09 and $3.08, respectively. Metro markets with least expensive average were the Crestview – Ft. Walton Beach area, at $2.83, Panama City at $2.84, and Pensacola at $2.92.
