Florida drivers went from paying an average price of $2.33 per gallon on Monday, to $2.42/g Wednesday
Florida gas prices jumped an average of 10 cents per gallon last week. Florida drivers went from paying an average price of $2.33 per gallon on Monday, to $2.42/g Wednesday. Although that was the highest daily average in two weeks, prices at the pump remain well below the highest price so far this year, $2.56 per gallon.
Pump prices began to edge lower through the weekend. The state average is down by only a penny, yet drivers in some regions are finding prices in the low $2.30s.
"Although gas prices are declining again, drivers should expect continued volatility at the pump in the coming months," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. "Refineries are entering spring maintenance season, where they conduct seasonal maintenance and switch to a more expensive summer gasoline - as required by the EPA. This work can lead to reduced refinery output at a time when driving demand increases for spring break. In recent years, the imbalance of springtime supply and demand led to price hikes of 20-60 cents, which was spread out over the course of a few months."
