AAA: Florida gas prices break even on the week

Posted

Florida gas prices continued to yoyo up and down. The state average went from $3.11 per gallon down to $3.06 mid-week, only to bounce right back up to $3.11/g by Sunday. 

"Fuel prices have cycled within the same range for the past couple months, but a recent oil price hike threatens to bring upward pressure on prices at the pump," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. "Oil prices rose to multi-month highs on winter weather woes and U.S. sanctions on Russian petroleum. This could place upward pressure on prices at the pump."

The U.S. price for crude increased $3 per barrel (4%) last week. Friday's closing price of $76.57 per barrel is the highest daily settlement since early October. The U.S. placed sanctions on Russian oil producers and 183 ships which reportedly carry that oil to China and India. The sanctions are reportedly an attempt to cut off funding for Moscow's war against Ukraine. This will reportedly leave China and India to seek more supply from the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas. 

As the oil market debates how these sanctions will affect global supplies, there are concerns about a prolonged stretch of below-average temperatures. OPIS reports that rare winter storms in Texas and the South should sharply boost demand for distillate/heating oil.
