From AAA
Florida gas prices are slightly more expensive than a week ago. On Sunday, the state average was $3.10 per gallon. That's up 3 cents from last week, down 3 cents from a month ago, and 8 cents less than this time last year.
“Historically, gas prices trend lower in the second half of the year,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “However, the early fall months can bring some volatility, as refineries begin seasonal maintenance and the threat of hurricanes remains. However, these factors could be offset by reduced fuel demand, now that the busy summer travel season is over."
The price of crude oil is trending lower. Friday's closing price was $61.87 per barrel. That's down 3% from the week before ($64.01/b).
