Florida gasoline prices have reached a record low in 2023 — and with peak traveling season around the corner.
The state average reached $3 by Sunday, with a 15-cent drop from the previous week. In fact, around 35% of gas stations around the state have prices below $3 and 10% of stations have prices in the low $2.70s, AAA – The Auto Club Group spokesman Mark Jenkins said.
“Oil and gasoline futures prices plummeted last week after a weekly fuel report showed strong refinery activity, leading to big gains in gasoline supplies,” Jenkins said in a statement.
“While prices could bounce around in the coming weeks, drivers should expect pump prices to remain low through the holidays unless oil prices suddenly spike,” he added.
AAA – The Auto Club Group is projecting 6.6 million Floridians to be traveling between Dec. 23 to Jan. 1 — 3.4% more travelers than last year.
