AAA: Gas Prices Could Rise Up To 10 Cents By The Weekend

November 25, 2019

AAA says drivers could see an increase at the pump of 5-10 cents this week, just in time for Thanksgiving weekend travel.

“Even if gas prices do rise this week, a 5-10 cent increase is not likely to cause Floridians to cancel their travel plans,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “If the state average returns to $2.45 per gallon, it’d be the same price motorists paid during last year’s holiday. Additionally, it’s nearly the same price Floridians paid a month ago - when most people were finalizing their travel plans. However, if the state average remains less than $2.45, Thanksgiving travelers in Florida would be paying the lowest gas prices for the holiday in three years.”

Florida drivers are currently paying an average of $2.36 per gallon. In Escambia County, the average price per gallon was a bit higher at $2.39 a gallon. In North Escambia, one Cantonment station was at $2.28 Sunday night.

    Holiday gas gouging at it again. Just last week the price jumped 10 cents. However, the station at Tate road remained lower than other stations. Florida gas regulation isn’t working for consumers. I’m still mad about the county commissioners voting on a 4 cent tax to fund the empty bus system. One month into the increase Wi-Fi was installed on the busses! Hell, I can’t afford cable to my home. SMH
