From AAA
In Summary:
Florida’s average price for regular unleaded gasoline dropped to $4.08 per gallon Sunday, down 29 cents from a week earlier. AAA attributes the decline to easing global supply concerns and crude oil prices falling nearly 10% in two weeks, helping drivers save roughly $5 to $7 per fill-up. Apopka’s listed prices started at $3.84 per gallon, although the statewide average remained $1.03 higher than a year ago.
*****

The state average has fallen 34 cents per gallon in the past nine days as oil prices retreated from recent highs.

Oil Prices Declined Nearly 10% in Two Weeks
Crude oil prices declined nearly 10% in the past two weeks as concerns about global fuel supplies eased. The G7's decision to release 100 million barrels from emergency reserves, along with improving oil exports from the Middle East, helped calm supply concerns. As a result, crude fell from above $100 per barrel in mid-September to $91.11 on Friday.
