Gas prices rise across Florida as oil prices surge
Miami, Florida – According to the American Automobile Association (AAA), the average price for gasoline rose 3 cents per gallon, last week.
Florida’s average is now $3.22 per gallon of regular gas, which remains 14 cents less than the 2021 high of $3.36 per gallon.
“The arrow appears to be pointing up for oil prices, which means gas prices are likely to get more expensive,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “The oil market is bullish on global supply concerns as various members of OPEC+ have reportedly struggled to meet production goals.”
“Based on last week’s oil price hikes, drivers could soon see another round of rising prices,” Jenkins continued. “It’s unclear how much of an increase to expect, but the last time oil prices were this high, the state average was above $3.30 per gallon.”

• Drive conservatively. Aggressive acceleration and speeding reduces fuel economy.
