Oil prices are reacting to fast‑moving headlines, and that volatility makes it difficult to predict what drivers will see at the pump. Last week’s drop could provide some short‑term relief, but with conditions in the Middle East still unclear, prices could move higher again just as quickly depending on how events unfold.”

Florida gas prices spiked by 14 cents per gallon early last week, but most of the increase disappeared by Sunday.

Sunday's state average of $4.02 per gallon is:

2 cents less than a week ago
7 cents more than a month ago
$1 more than this time last year

Gas prices could drift lower this week following a sharp selloff in the oil market. Crude oil prices fell about 13 percent last week on reports that the Strait of Hormuz would reopen to commercial shipping, easing concerns about supply disruptions. Oil finished the week nearly $13 per barrel lower than the week before, a move that can translate into roughly a 30 cent swing at the gas pump.

However, gas prices may not have time to fully reflect the oil market’s decline. By the end of the weekend, it appeared that transit through the region remained restricted, raising doubts about the reopening and keeping markets on edge. That uncertainty increases the risk of renewed price swings.

“Oil prices are reacting to fast‑moving headlines, and that volatility makes it difficult to predict what drivers will see at the pump,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA - The Auto Club Group. “Last week’s drop could provide some short‑term relief, but with conditions in the Middle East still unclear, prices could move higher again just as quickly depending on how events unfold.”
