The price of gas in Florida remains in flux, but it’s still relatively low, according to AAA — The Auto Club Group.
Last week, the state average price for gas fell 4 cents per gallon, then shot up 9 cents before falling 3 cents.
By Sunday, the state average was $2.92 per gallon — 2 cents more than last week and 7 cents pricier than last month, but 24 cents cheaper than a year ago.
On Monday morning, the price fell another cent to $2.91 per gallon.
“Price cycling remains a common occurrence at Florida’s gas pumps,” AAA spokesperson Mark Jenkins said in a statement.
“The good news for drivers is that the higher end of that trend is much lower than it used to be.”
Gas is cheapest in Pensacola, where a gallon of regular cost $2.66 on Monday morning, followed by the Crestview-Fort Walton Beach area ($2.68) and Panama City ($2.71).
The most expensive market for gas in Florida remains the West Palm Beach-Boca Raton area, where motorists are paying $3.08 per gallon on average, followed by Gainesville ($2.99) and Naples ($2.97).
Nationally, Florida’s pump prices are in the middle of the pack. The lowest prices are in Louisiana and Mississippi, at $2.59 per gallon, while the most expensive gas can still be found in California ($4.59), followed by Alaska ($4.48)
