Gas prices in Florida rose 3 cents last week, then declined through Sunday to $3.95 per gallon. That’s 7 cents less than the week before, 7 cents more than a month ago and 88 cents more than in late April 2025, according to AAA — The Auto Club Group.
By Monday morning, the average per-gallon Sunshine State price dropped another cent to $3.94.
“Florida gas prices have seesawed week to week, after peaking earlier this month,” AAA spokesperson Mark Jenkins said in a statement.
“They may move higher again soon, following increases in both oil and wholesale gasoline prices”
U.S. oil prices surged last week to $10.55 per barrel, a 13% uptick, while gasoline futures rose 46 per gallon. Those increases reflected ongoing global supply concerns tied to tensions with Iran and uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz.
This week, Iran offered to end its chokehold on the strait in exchange for the U.S. lifting its blockade of the country and an end to the war, The Associated Press reported. A fragile ceasefire is currently in place.
In Florida, the most affordable metropolitan market for fuel-dependent motorists is Panama City, where a regular gallon of gas costs $3.68 on average, followed by Pensacola ($3.69) and the Crestview-Fort Walton Beach area ($3.74).
The priciest markets, meanwhile, are the West Palm Beach-Boca Raton area ($4.13), Gainesville ($4.02) and Fort Lauderdale ($4.01).
The national average is $4.11 per gallon, with California ($5.95), Hawaii ($5.66) and Washington state ($5.48) topping the price chart and Oklahoma ($3.50), Kansas ($3.53) and Arkansas ($3.60) having the cheapest pump prices.
