Florida Gas Prices Headed Up

June 8, 2020

Florida gas prices are rising. The state average is $1.90 per gallon – the most expensive in 9 weeks. While the average price increased only two cents last week, even larger increases are possible in the coming days, according to AAA.

The average price per gallon Sunday night in Escambia County was $1.89, up nine cents from a week ago and 27 cents from one month ago. The lowest price to be found in North Escambia Sunday night was $1.93 at Highway 29 and Muscogee Road, but in Pensacola gas was at $1.71 at a warehouse club.

The $1.90 per gallon state average is still 70 cents lower than this time last year.

    People need to return to work. Willing to pay more for gas if people oil field workers really benefit.

    FINALLY , I am glad to see the price of gas go up, i am more than willing to pay 3.00 or more for a gallon of gas if it means my brothers and sisters in the oilfield along with myself can get back to work.

    Naturally, restrictions eased, more on the road, demand going up, just one thing folks are still reeling from job shutdowns, unemployment, folks short on funds – lets start sticking it to everybody at the pumps to start things off. The so called new normal is the same tune as always…greed.
