Local Gas Prices On The Upswing
April 29, 2019
Florida gas prices have steadily declined for the past two weeks. On Sunday, gas prices in Florida averaged $2.71 per gallon. But In Escambia County, gas prices are on the upswing.
Since setting a new 2019-high of $2.80 per gallon on April 12, the state average has declined for 16 consecutive days for a total discount of 9 cents. Florida is now 11th in the nation among states with the lowest daily average price. The top three states with the lowest average prices in the U.S. are Alabama ($2.51), Mississippi ($2.53) and Louisiana ($2.55).
The average price by gallon was $2.73 per gallon in Escambia County on Sunday, up from $2.68 one week ago.
“Gas prices are moving lower in concert with wholesale, gasoline and oil futures, which all dropped last week,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “The lowest gas prices in the country are mostly found in the southeastern United States. Since most of these states are supplied by Gulf Coast refineries, this could be a positive indicator that refineries in the area are moving past their various issues that have affected fuel supplies and led prices higher.”
