On average, Florida drivers are now paying 7 cents per gallon more than a week ago and 15 cents less than this time last month, according to a AAA release. The state average is now 90 cents more than this time last year, when prices plummeted due to low demand because of the pandemic.
“Florida drivers continue to feel the effects of rising crude oil prices, which have made it more expensive to produce gasoline,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. “Oil prices have surged nearly 60% this year, as global fuel demand outpaces the recovery in supplies. Unfortunately, these pump prices will likely hang around through the summer, unless fundamentals change. Tropical Storm Elsa is not expected to impact prices at the pump.”
