AAA: Florida gas prices dropped 7 cents last week

But Hurricane Milton could drive them back up

Posted

Florida gas prices fell seven cents per gallon last week. The state average dropped from $3.17 per gallon to $3.10/g on Sunday. It is now 11 cents less than a month ago and 41 cents less than this time last year.

"Oil prices rose last week on concerns that tensions in the Middle East could widen," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. "This could contribute to an uptick in pump prices as Floridians prepare for Hurricane Milton."

Oil prices reached their highest levels in five weeks. On Friday, the U.S. price for crude settled at $73.98 per barrel, an increase of 9% from the week before.
