"Pump prices are plunging just in time, as travelers hit the road for an extended weekend," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. "Some retailers in Tampa and Orlando are selling gasoline for less than $2.40 per gallon. Prices are being driven down by new EIA fuel data, which showed surprisingly strong weekly crude and gasoline supply gains. Oil prices have fallen nearly $4 per barrel this week, which could directly result in a 10 cent drop at the pump."
Florida gas prices averaged $2.62 per gallon on Friday (5/24) - the lowest daily average price since March. The state average is 4 cents less than a week ago, 11 cents less than last month, and 30 cents less than this time last year. View daily gas prices.
