Florida Gas Prices Continue Decline, AAA Says
July 18, 2022
Florida gas prices dropped another 15 cents last week. The state average is now on a five-week streak of declines, falling a total of 62 cents per gallon.
Sunday, the average price for gasoline across the state was $4.27 per gallon. This time last year, the price was $3 a gallon.
The average price per gallon in Escambia County was $4.20. In North Escambia, a low of $4.21 could be found Sunday night on Highway 29 in Cantonment, while multiple Pensacola stations were below $4, including $3.61 at a warehouse club.
“Drivers are likely relieved to get a break from record-high prices, and prices could get even cheaper this week,” Jenkins continued. “However, it’s important to remember that the market remains extremely volatile, and prices have the potential to bounce back. That particularly applies to hurricane season. If a major storm makes landfall along the gulf coast, impacting operations at refineries in Texas, Louisiana, or Mississippi, prices could spike, due to concerns about fuel supplies.”

$3 for gas is a bargain! What else can you buy for $3? Have you seen what other countries ay for fuel?
Unbelievable that people think this is expensive. Oil companies are recouping losses from 2020-2021 and filling up their coffers for the future as internal combustion engines become obsolete.
And YES… You can thank President Biden for helping to bring prices back down to “normal”.
Crazy that we can ride around and see Prices at the Same Chain stations that have Different Prices by several cents to dimes+
Yes, know the old Location-Location-Location determines some cost hike like near the Interstate but am really talking about those not directly on the Interstate.
Seems to make No Sense.
Realize the actual station managers make Pennies on the Gallon, real money is made on items sold in the store.
Just seems if a gallon of regular gas is $3.XX at one of the stations the same brand would cost same at another station.
@Josh …. I’m not casting blame on oil companies, I just feel like some of our local retailers are being greedy at this time. Its seems clear to me that prices could easily be 40, 50 maybe 60 cent a gallon cheaper but Tom Thumb (Cumberland Farms) and Circle K are each waiting for the other to blink before making a move to lower prices at the pump.
@Jason
It’s almost as if the folks blaming the oil companies for the high prices are correct.
Thank you president Biden!
Sad that we’ve all been brainwashed to think $3.00 for gas is cheap. Let’s take a stand and all boycott gas for an entire day and see what cheap really is.
Its aggravating that some stations – Walmart, Dodges, Murphy – have been able to get pump prices down below $3.65 a gallon but far too many of the chain stores in our area seem content to stay in the $4.20+ range.
