Florida gas prices up 8 cents from last week
Florida gas prices climbed up and then backed off in Florida since last week, but still ended up 8 cents higher, according to data from AAA.
Florida’s state average for gas prices was $3.04 per gallon, according a report that took in statewide prices through Sunday.
The state average had gone up by 18 cents per gallon early in the week before falling by Sunday.
The price was still 10 cents less than prices one month earlier and 7 cents than a year ago.
“Since the fuel market has been stable, retailers are constantly adjusting prices to attract customers,” said spokesman Mark Jenkins.
The most expensive metro markets are West Palm Beach-Boca Raton ($3.22), Naples ($3.12) and Gainesville ($3.10).
The least expensive metro markets are Crestview-Fort Walton Beach ($2.80), Pensacola ($2.80) and Panama City ($2.85).
