Summer Gas Prices At Four-Year High
July 10, 2018
The price at the pump is the most expensive summer gas prices in four years in Florida.
Since June 1, Florida gas prices averaged $2.76 per gallon – an increase of nearly 50 cents compared to the average price last summer. But current pump prices remain 20 cents below this year’s high, set during Memorial Day weekend.
The average price per gallon in the North Escambia area is $2.74, up from $2.19 last year.
“Reduced global oil supplies have caused summer travelers to pay a higher price at the pump this year,” said Mark Jenkins, AAA spokesman, AAA. “Fortunately, domestic gasoline production remains strong, which should help prevent major swings in summer gas prices. But AAA said pump prices will pop if a major hurricane threatens refineries along the Gulf Coast.

Just think some people travel to work, some for vacations and others for radiation treatments 5 days a week for 3-6 weeks, plus pay a co-pay each day this can all add up to a lot of expense. I agree with Bama I see very few people on Escambia County Transit Buses.
Sadly, some of what we pay in Escambia County goes.to support the Escambia County Transit system that runs with mostly empty buses.
Fantastic! Come on $4 a gallon!
