AAA: Florida gas prices are down 10 cents

Drivers should expect gas prices to bounce back this week. Over the past year, we’ve seen a consistent pattern: when prices fall for two straight weeks, they typically climb 10–20 cents shortly after. This is part of the normal price-cycling behavior, where retailers adjust prices to attract customers and stay competitive in the market. So far this year, Florida gas prices have bounced between $2.84 and $3.23 per gallon.”

Florida gas prices have steadily declined over the past two weeks. During that time, the state average dropped 19 cents per gallon, from $3.12 to $2.92. 

Sunday's state average of $2.92 per gallon is: 

• 10 cents less than last week
• 3 cents more than last month
• 13 cents less than this time last year

“Drivers should expect gas prices to bounce back this week," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA - The Auto Club Group. "Over the past year, we’ve seen a consistent pattern: when prices fall for two straight weeks, they typically climb 10–20 cents shortly after. This is part of the normal price-cycling behavior, where retailers adjust prices to attract customers and stay competitive in the market.

Oil prices are trending higher. The U.S. price for a barrel of crude rose 4% in the past two weeks. Friday's closing price of $60.08 per barrel is $1.53/b more than the week before. Over the past 10 weeks, the price of crude has averaged slightly below $60 per barrel.
