Florida Gas Prices Dip to 9-Month Lows

| 11/18/2019

Florida gas prices declined again last week, by an average of 3 cents. Drivers are now paying an average price of $2.37 per gallon. 

Florida gas prices have declined the past 17 consecutive days for a total discount of 10 cents. Florida drivers are now paying 13 cents less than both a month ago and this time last year. That amounts to a savings of nearly $2 on a full tank of gasoline. 

The southeastern United States has some of the lowest gas prices in the nation. Florida’s state average is the 13th-lowest in the U.S.; Louisiana’s is ##1. 

"On average, Florida drivers are now paying the lowest price for gasoline since February," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. "Strong gains in fuel supplies and flat crude prices are contributing to the downturn in prices at the pump. Drivers are now paying 43 cents per gallon less than this year’s highest daily price - set back in April. Thanksgiving Day gas prices are poised to be the lowest for the holiday in three years, so long as the state average remains below $2.45 per gallon."
