From AAA
Florida gas prices rose 13 cents early last week. From there, the state average declined 6 cents through the weekend. Sunday's state average was $3.58 per gallon.
On Wednesday, the state average reached a new 2024 high of $3.64 per gallon. Sunday's price of $3.58 per gallon is 2 cents higher than a month ago, yet 14 cents less than last year.
"Volatility in the oil market has greatly contributed to rising prices at the pump in recent weeks," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. "Oil prices have been reacting to rising geopolitical tensions between Israel and Iran, and OPEC's decision to extend production cuts, in an effort to crimp global fuel supplies."
About half the price of gasoline is influenced by the price of oil. Higher oil prices contribute to higher gasoline production costs. Through the first quarter of the year, the price of oil averaged around $75 per barrel. Since mid-March, the price of oil has averaged nearly $84 per barrel. During that same time, the state average has mostly remained above $3.50 per gallon.
Here is some additional context on how oil prices directly contribute to pump prices. In 2023, the state average price for gasoline reached a high of $3.85 per gallon. During that time, the price of oil reached a high of nearly $94 per barrel. In 2022, the state average reached a high of $4.89 per gallon. During that time, oil peaked at $123.70/b.
