AAA: Florida gas prices averaged $3.10 per gallon during the weekend

Florida gas prices are poised to move lower this week. Oil prices dropped last week on concerns that OPEC and its allies could add more oil to the market, at a time when the global economy braces for a potential slowdown, which typically results in lower fuel demand.”

Florida gas prices see-sawed again last week. The state average went from $3.04 per gallon on Monday to $3.18/g by Thursday. On Sunday, Florida's gas price had fallen to $3.10/g.

These price swings have become all too familiar. Since September 2024, Florida's average price has bounced between $2.96/g and $3.30/g, with drivers paying an average price of $3.11/g.

"Florida gas prices are poised to move lower this week," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA - The Auto Club Group. "Oil prices dropped last week on concerns that OPEC and its allies could add more oil to the market, at a time when the global economy braces for a potential slowdown, which typically results in lower fuel demand."

OPEC+ reportedly plans to bring 2.2 million oil barrels daily back to the market by November. The effort is allegedly designed to sink oil prices and regain market share while punishing Iraq and Kazakhstan for not complying with production quotas.

Friday, the U.S. price for oil was $58.29 per barrel. That's down $4.73 (-8%) from the previous week. Wednesday's closing price of $58.21/b is the lowest since April 2021. During that time, Florida's average gas price was around $2.85 per gallon.
