Florida Gas Prices Up; Escambia Prices Lower Than Any Florida Metro Area
May 6, 2019
Florida gas prices are creeping lower again, after rising an average of 8 cents last week. The state average of $2.78 per gallon is now 6 cents more than this time last week. Florida drivers are now paying 6 cents per gallon more than a month ago, and 5 cents more than this time last year.
The average price per gallon in Escambia County was $2.70 on Sunday, down slightly from $2.73 a week ago but up from $2.64 one month ago. Pensacola’s average price was the lowest of any metro area.
“Drivers saw gas prices seesaw last week, which is normal this time of year,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Prices moved higher last week after reports of issues at a Texas refinery. Fortunately, the state average has held below $2.80 per gallon, and remains almost 15 cents less than last year’s highs. Looking ahead, pump prices tend to be especially volatile in May. The highest price of the year usually hits by Memorial Day weekend.”
