Florida Gas Prices Stalling Due To Renewed COVID-19 Concerns, AAA Says
June 15, 2020
The average Florida gas prices exceeded $2 last week for the first time since March, but for now it appears they are holding steady.
“The recent upward momentum in pump prices is beginning to stall amid renewed concerns regarding the coronavirus,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Market-watchers are beginning to worry that elevated cases of Covid-19 in Florida and some other states could result in another drop in gasoline demand. For now, gas prices should hold steady this week with the possibility of a slight decline.”
The average price of gallon in the state is $2.02, about 50 cents per gallon less than a year ago.
In Escambia County, the average price was $1.97. In North Escambia, the low price was $1.89 at a couple of Cantonment stations, while in Pensacola one station was at $1.79

The “Mouse Palaces” in central Florida are itching to open up and welcome the tourists dollars by the truckload.
Not sure how any place can be considered even “marginally safe” when tens of thousands a day pour in from all over the world bringing in the usual germs and viruses and other things.
Our plan is to keep on being very careful in limited contacts and maintaining safe practices at home.
No plans to go immerse ourselves in those huge crowds.
