TAMPA — Florida gas prices jumped 9 cents last week. The state average then reversed course, declining 7 cents per gallon through the weekend.
On Sunday, June 30, the state average was $3.38 per gallon. That’s 12 cents per gallon more than what holiday travelers paid on Independence Day in 2023.
“Gas prices remain pretty volatile as 3.9 million Floridians prepare to take a road trip for Independence Day,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. “Although we have seen some price swings in recent weeks, it’s not likely significant enough to impact people’s travel plans. Oil prices have flattened out, which should limit any significant jumps at the pump in the coming days.”

The U.S. price of crude has traded in the low $80s per barrel. That’s a stark contrast to two years ago, when oil traded at around $100 per barrel. As a result, travelers paid a whopping $4.54 per gallon on Independence Day in 2022.
