Florida gas prices are lowest in five months, predicted state average to sink below $2 this week

Posted

From AAA

Florida's gas price plunge continued last week. The state average has declined 36 consecutive days for a total discount of 19 cents. It now appears the state average is on the verge of falling below $2 a gallon for the first time since June 10th.

Florida's average gas price is:

$2.01 per gallon (Sunday)

4 cents less than last week

17 cents less than a month ago

41 cents less than last year

"Demand concerns - related to surging cases of COVID-19 - continue to weigh on the global fuel market, leading to lower prices at the pump," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. "Although US gasoline demand is not nearly as low as it was in April, it remains 9% lower than what's common, this time of year. Florida drivers should see another round of discounts this week. The state average should slip below $2 a gallon and sink to $1.95 by the weekend."
