Florida Gas Prices Still Falling
December 22, 2011
Gas prices continue to fall with Florida motorists paying a few pennies per gallon less this week than last week and more than a dime less than they were paying at the pump a month ago, according to auto club AAA.
The average Florida price per gallon of $3.26 is down 4 cents from last week, and down from $3.38 a gallon a month ago.
It’s still higher than it was a year ago, however, when motorists were paying $2.99 a gallon. The national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded is $3.22, a few pennies below Florida’s.
AAA says prices are expected to continue to drop into the new year.
“Europe’s lingering debt issues and somber economic outlook continue to put downward pressure on oil prices,” AAA said in its weekly report. “The dollar gained momentum after the value of the euro fell curbing the appeal of oil as a commodity. Oil prices also dropped after OPEC agreed to increase output quotas to 30 million barrels a day to meet future expected growth numbers.”

Brewton can beat the Atmore prices. Murphy and Jet Pet are $3.04. Don’t know why Flomaton insists on being the highest around. . .even Florida is cheaper than them, and that’s with extra Fl. gas taxes. Perhaps it’s nothing more than GREED. . . . .
REGARDING:
“they have got you brainwashed to think 3 dollara per gallon is good”
Not good, but better. definitely better than $4.20/gallon which I HAVE paid or those predictions that it would be over $5/gallon by this past Labor Day. (false prophets)
There is no exact price anything is supposed to be worth. After all, money is imaginary and the government could just print all they wanted if doing so didn’t change the value of the money.
David for improvements
and free gas
they have got you brainwashed to think 3 dollara per gallon is good
Don’t want to cause a mad rush BUT two stations in Atmore have gas at $3.08 & $3.09. How long this will last , I don’t know but we have full tanks now and really appreciate it. Can you believe we are happy to see gas ay this price! WOW, times have really changed. MERRY CHRISTMAS
I saw on the news a few days ago that gas in Mobile was just under $3 a gallon. Strange that we still have to pay $3.15 per gallon here in Pensacola. I guess it is called greed and price gouging.
