Florida - Monday August 26, 2024: Florida gas prices averaged $3.29 per gallon on Sunday. That's the lowest daily average price in two months.
The state average jumped 8 cents early last week, then reversed course, declining 9 cents by the weekend.
"Low oil prices have kept pump prices in check," said Mark Jenkins, AAA spokesman. "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."
Florida drivers paid $3.68 per gallon on Labor Day 2023 and $3.52 during the 2022 holiday weekend. The state average was $3.02 per gallon on Labor Day weekend 2021.
