Florida Gas Prices Slip Lower As Upward Pressure Remains
February 14, 2022
The average price for gasoline set a new 2022 high of $3.47 per gallon on Wednesday. That is the most expensive daily average since July 2014. From there, the state average gradually slipped lower through the weekend. Sunday’s state average was $3.46 per gallon.
The average price per gallon Sunday night in Escambia County was $3.43. A North Escambia low of $3.43 was available at a station on Highway 29 in Cantonment, while Pensacola prices were below $3.30 at about a half dozen locations.
“Pump prices moved slightly lower into the weekend, but don’t be surprised if they increase again in the near future,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Oil prices set new 2022 highs on Friday, amid concerns over how a potential Russian invasion of Ukraine could result in sanctions on Russian oil that could make the oil market even tighter than it currently is.”

Yes gas prices are ridiculously high. That along with the prices of groceries going up daily puts a real strain on today’s family. To bad our elected officials in DC couldn’t careless.
the way I see it don’t drive if you really don’t have to I have saved a whole five dollars and forty cent this year so far by staying at home.so just maybe just maybe mind you I might save a total of sixty bucks by the end of the year that might just help me buy a large ham for Christmas I’m pretty sure they will cost about that by then.
There’s always been tough times it seems ! But this gas price must be real tough on the younger folk. Work , child care. meals, shopping and all the “stuff” they need etc.
Back in the “day.” We older folk didn’t have ( not invented yet) “stuff” like these days !
