Good News At The Pump
August 29, 2010
Gas prices nationwide have dropped to an 11-month low on news from the Energy Department that U.S. stockpiles are higher than forecast. That has translated to lower prices at the pumps in the North Escambia area.
The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gas in the Pensacola market is at $2.55, down from $2.65 one month ago.
AAA is forecasting the lower price at the pump will bring about a four percent increase in Labor Day travel in Florida next weekend.
Pictured: The price was a gallon of regular unleaded was $2.48 at this station at the corner of West Roberts Road and Highway 29 earlier this week. But Saturday, the price had dropped another penny. NorthEscambia.com photo, click to enlarge.

I paid $2.37 per gallon in Brewton yesterday. The price of gas is always at least 20 cents lower when I cross the state line, and back in the spring I learned that everytime I crossed another state line the price dropped with prices at my destination in New Jersey being $2.24 (and that was at a full service gas station) and prices in the Pensacola area averaging $2.68. I was curious about the broad price ranges in gas prices and when I got home I did a little research and found that Bob Martinez made the state gas tax annual increase permanent just before he left office….and all we got was a state blanketed in asphalt.
