Gas prices in Florida declined slightly once again. After reaching a 4-week high of $3.47 per gallon on Tuesday, the state average steadily declined a total of 6 cents by Sunday.
“Florida drivers are now paying an average price of $3.41 per gallon,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Summertime fuel demand is off to a strong start, which will likely contribute to continued volatility in prices at the pump through the next several months.”
