AAA: Gas Prices Trickle Lower
June 4, 2018
The summer driving season is in full swing, and it opened with the most expensive gas prices in four years. Fortunately, those prices at the pump are beginning to trickle lower, according to AAA.
Gas prices in Florida declined 4 cents last week. The state average of $2.87 is 14 cents more than a month ago and 49 cents more than this time last year. The average price per gallon was $2.86 in Escambia County.
“Gas prices could drop 10-15 cents, based on recent oil price declines,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “The discount will not happen overnight, because it usually takes a couple weeks for shifts like this to play out at the pump. However, any downward potential would be wiped out if futures prices suddenly bounce higher.”
