Gas Prices Dip, Several Escambia Stations Below $3 A Gallon
September 12, 2022
Florida gas prices declined again last week, dropping to the lowest levels since February. The state average declined 9 cents last week, falling to $3.45 per gallon on Sunday.
The average price per gallon Sunday in Escambia County was $3.24. A North Escambia low of $3.15 could be found on Highway 29 in Cantonment. In Pensacola, gas prices were as low as $2.95 at a Nine Mile Road station, with about a half dozen more below $3.
Gas prices are now on a 2-week streak of declines, falling a total of 17 cents. Despite a brief 9-cent uptick in late August, pump prices have largely declined throughout the summer. Drivers are now paying $1.44 per gallon less than what they paid in mid-June, according to AAA. That amounts to an average savings of nearly $22 on a full tank of gas.

This just proves what many have said…oil companies have been ripping off consumers for obscene profits for atleast a year.
The Florida Motor Fuel Tax Relief Act of 2022 reduces the tax rate on motor fuel by 25.3 cents per gallon. The tax rate reduction begins Saturday, October 1, and extends through Monday, October 31.
If, on October 1, the gas price of your favorite filling station doesn’t drop by at least 25.3 cents then you’ll know the station is trying to keep the tax reduction for itself as increased profits.
