Florida gas prices averaged $3.29 per gallon on Sunday. That’s the lowest daily average price in two months.
Escambia County’s average per gallon stands at $3.06.

In Pensacola, the lowest price was $2.76 on Pensacola Boulevard, Airport Boulevard and Nine Mile Road.
“Low oil prices have kept pump prices in check,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Floridians planning to hit the road for Labor Day weekend are likely to find the lowest gas prices for the holiday weekend in three years.”
