JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – AAA estimates as many as 2 million Floridians will be hitting the road, with many of them traveling 50 miles or more.
What’s good for us here in Jacksonville, we’re paying some of the lowest prices in the state. The average right now is $2.82.
- Floridians are paying an average of $2.87 per gallon.
- That’s 2 cents a gallon less than a week ago and 4 cents less than the highest price so far this year.
- It’s also 4 cents lower than what drivers paid on Memorial Day 2018.
While prices are currently on the decline, be advised that could change quickly.
AAA said the current trends could continue as we get closer to the weekend, but the fuel market can change quickly.
You will want to pay attention to that.
You probably remember a couple of weeks ago, Governor Ron DeSantis did declare a state of emergency after the Colonial Pipeline closure led to gas shortages. Thankfully, we did not see any major issues here in our area.
