AAA: Florida gas prices inch lower as 2.5 million Floridians prepare to travel for Memorial Day

Posted

Florida gas prices increased 6 cents early last week, but those gains were quickly erased by the weekend. Sunday's state average of $3.45 per gallon is the same as a week ago. 

"Pump prices are drifting lower as a record-setting 2.5 million Floridians prepare to travel for Memorial Day weekend," said Mark Jenkins, Public Relations Manager for AAA - The Auto Club Group. "However, ongoing geopolitical tensions could prevent pump prices from falling below year-ago levels during the holiday weekend."

Florida gas prices averaged $3.41 per gallon on Memorial Day 2023. This year, nearly 2.3 million Floridians are forecast to take a road trip for Memorial Day weekend. That's a new all-time record and nearly 106,000 more Floridians on the road than last year.

The most congested periods on the road are forecast to be Thursday and Friday afternoons from 3pm-7pm. The best advice for avoiding congestion is to travel before noon or after 7pm.
