TAMPA — Florida gas prices have declined 20 cents in the past 10 days. On Sunday, Aug. 24, the state average was $2.93 per gallon.

“Gas prices are moving lower as the unofficial end of the summer travel season approaches,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA - The Auto Club Group. “However, there’s no guarantee this decline will hold through the holiday weekend. For almost a year, Florida gas prices have followed a pattern of declining for about 10 days, then rebounding 10-20 cents. While that could happen this week, pump prices should remain lower than last year’s Labor Day levels.”

On Labor Day 2024, Florida gas prices averaged $3.30 per gallon. The state average hasn’t returned to that height ever since. During that time, oil prices were trading at around $70 per barrel. On Friday, the U.S. price for oil closed at $63.66/b.
