Florida - Monday august 15, 2022: Florida gas prices dropped another 14 cents per gallon, last week to an average of $3.65 a gallon. That's the lowest daily average since March 3.
The state average has now declined for nine consecutive weeks, falling $1.24 per gallon since mid-June when pump prices set a new record high of $4.89 per gallon. It now costs $55 to fill an average-sized 15-gallon tank of gas, nearly $20 less than what drivers paid in mid-June.
"The state average should continue moving lower, likely slipping into the $3.50s by the end of the week," said Florida AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins. "Oil and gasoline futures regained some strength last week, as analysts believe that falling fuel prices will encourage consumers to drive more."
The U.S. price of oil rose 3% last week. Friday's closing price of $92.09 per barrel is $3.08/b more than the week before.
