4th of July Gas Prices Likely To Be Higher Than Last Year, AAA Says
July 1, 2024
Florida gas prices jumped nine cents last week. The state average then reversed course, declining seven cents per gallon through the weekend, AAA said.
Sunday’s state average was $3.38 per gallon. That’s 12 cents per gallon more than what holiday travelers paid on Independence Day in 2023.
Escambia County’s average was $3.16 Sunday night, with a low of $2.93 at a station on East Nine Mile Road. In North Escambia, a low of $2.96 was available Sunday night at one station on Highway 29 in Cantonment.
“Gas prices remain pretty volatile as 3.9 million Floridians prepare to take a road trip for Independence Day,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Although we have seen some price swings in recent weeks, it’s not likely significant enough to impact people’s travel plans. Oil prices have flattened out, which should limit any significant jumps at the pump in the coming days.”

Yep. And I pointed out how stupid that was back in 2008. I guess there are idiots in both political parties that think the President controls the free market.
@Bob. Remember when the dems blamed George W Bush for rising gas prices in 2008?
@retired
It is seriously hilarious that every time gas prices go down, it’s dead quiet. But every time gas prices go up, there’s always someone ready to blame the other political party.
It’s almost like you don’t actually care about gas prices and are just looking for an excuse to cheer for the home team.
THANK YOU BIDEN
