Gas prices in Florida have dropped to their lowest point in two months, averaging $3.29 per gallon on Sunday. This welcome decline comes after a brief surge earlier last week.
According to AAA spokesperson Mark Jenkins, the dip in prices is primarily attributed to low oil costs.

“Low oil prices have kept pump prices in check,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Floridians planning to hit the road for Labor Day weekend are likely to find the lowest gas prices for the holiday weekend in three years.”
For comparison, Florida drivers paid $3.68 per gallon on Labor Day 2023 and $3.52 in 2022. The state average was significantly lower in 2021 at $3.02 per gallon.
