AAA: Florida gas prices are 15 cents less than last week

This is a welcome relief for Floridians after a summer of fluctuating prices. As we transition into fall, lower fuel demand and the switch to winter-blend gasoline can help ease prices.”

Mark Jenkins, AAA

Florida drivers are enjoying a steady decline at the pump as the state average for regular unleaded gasoline continues its downward trend. According to AAA, Florida's average gas price fell to $2.95 per gallon on Sunday, marking the 10th consecutive day of declines and a total discount of 20 cents.

Sunday's average price of $2.95/g is:

• 15 cents less than a week ago
• 18 cents less than last month
• 18 cents less than this time last year

“This is a welcome relief for Floridians after a summer of fluctuating prices,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesperson for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “As we transition into fall, lower fuel demand and the switch to winter-blend gasoline can help ease prices.”

Seasonal Trends & Market Factors:

• Fall typically brings lower prices as summer travel winds down, schools reopen, and road trips decrease.
• Refinery maintenance can apply upward pressure, but is often offset by reduced demand.
• Winter-blend gasoline, which is cheaper to produce, is now entering the market.
• Hurricane threats remain a wildcard. Any disruption to Gulf Coast refineries or offshore rigs could reverse the current trend.
