Florida Gas Prices Jumped 17 Cents On Average Last Week After Gas Tax Holiday Ended
November 7, 2022
As expected, Florida gas prices increased last week, following the expiration of the state’s gas tax holiday on November 1.
Meanwhile, the state average only increased 17 cents per gallon last week; rising from $3.29 on October 31 to $3.46 per gallon on Sunday.
The average price per gallon in Escambia County was $3.27. In North Escambia, a station on Highway 29 in Cantonment was the low price at $3.25 Sunday night, while Pensacola bottomed out at $2.99at one of the warehouse clubs.
“With the reinstatement of Florida’s gas tax, the state average gas price has rebounded to its highest level since September 10th,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Last week’s 17 cent jump amounts to about $2.55 more to fill an average-size tank of gas. Florida’s state average now sits at $1.43 per gallon less than what drivers paid in mid-June. That has drivers paying $21 less for a full tank than they did in the early summer.”

@JOHN
*sigh*
No, it wouldn’t have. The Keystone XL Pipeline was meant to be a replacement for the existing Keystone Pipeline. It wouldn’t pump any more oil into the US from Canada than we already receive.
The EPA had been recommending suspending the permit for years due to the history of oil spills on the standard Keystone Pipeline and the company’s inability to provide any evidence that they could safely pump oil without additional spills. The former administration just chose to ignore the EPA’s recommendation and go full steam ahead.
Honestly, is anyone able to tell me what Biden did to make gas prices around the world go up without resorting to lying? I get that you don’t like the guy, but can we at least criticize him about stuff that’s actually in his control?
@ Bob. Biden ended the Keystone Pipeline which would have meant good paying jobs and less over seas oil.
@Stumpknocker
…How? What actions did the president take that forced gas companies to gouge their customers?
@ Bob, Biden is responsible for the high price of gas to include the 17 cents increase.
@sam
…you think Biden ended the gas tax holiday?
thanks again Biden.
