AAA: Florida gas prices sink to new 2023 low

Posted

TAMPA — Florida gas prices are now the lowest of 2023. The state average dropped 15 cents last week, settling at $3.00 per gallon on Sunday, Dec. 10.

“Oil and gasoline futures prices plummeted last week, after a weekly fuel report showed strong refinery activity, leading to big gains in gasoline supplies,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. “About 35% of Florida gas stations now have fuel below $3 a gallon. Nearly 10% of retailers have prices in the low $2.70s. While prices could bounce around in the coming weeks, drivers should expect pump prices to remain low through the holidays unless oil prices suddenly spike.”
