AAA: Holiday Gas Prices To Hit Two-Year Lows
December 17, 2018
Florida gas prices have declined a little more than 50 cents in the past two months, and could drop another 10 cents before the end of the year, according to AAA.
“Holiday travelers will have more jingle in their pockets after they fill-up the family vehicle,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Prices are already at 2-year lows for the holidays, and should slip even lower in the next two weeks. Oil prices have been unable to gain significant upward momentum after OPEC announced plans to cut production. The price of crude declined last week and should drop again this week, because industry analysts are skeptical that OPEC’s plan could rebalance what is currently an oversupplied market. If oil prices drop even further this week, that would reduce the cost of producing gasoline and allow additional price cuts at the pump.”
On Sunday, gas prices averaged $2.30 per gallon statewide. In Escambia County, the average price per gallon was $2.29.
Prices for the holiday season are forecast to hit two year lows, as AAA estimates 5.3 million Florida drivers will hit the holiday road. Florida gas prices averaged $2.44 per gallon on Christmas Day 2017, and $2.29 in 2016.

$2.49 in Madison, FL. They are always higher here.
Brewton gas $1.97
In Brewton it is $1.97.9
Sam you are half right. They are always higher in century. No need to be. Go one mile down road to Flomaton and gas is 30 cent or more a gallon cheaper.
Someone needs to let the gas stations in Jay know!!!!
It’s always cheaper everywhere else but Good Ole Jay stays loyal to the old prices!!
