Florida Gas Prices Drop A Dime
October 28, 2019
Florida gas prices have declined 10 cents in the last 10 days, according to AAA.
The average price per gallon statewide was $2.40 Sunday night.
In Escambia County, the average price per gallon was below the state average at $2.38, while the lowest prices in North Escambia was $2.27 at two Cantonment stations.
“Florida gas prices declined as anticipated last week, but could move slightly higher again in the coming days,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Refineries are still conducting maintenance, and gasoline demand is at a higher level than usual for this time of year. This has led to lower gasoline supply levels, which pushed wholesale gasoline prices a few cents higher last week. As a result, the state average could soon return to around $2.43 per gallon. Despite the anticipated increase, Florida drivers are still paying 30 cents per gallon less than last year. Which means, they’re saving almost $5 on a full tank of gasoline.”

Prices at the pump rose due to Hurricane Dorian (late August) and are just now returning to pre-Dorian prices. Wholesalers and retailers have been padding their wallets for quite some time.
