That’s nearly 30 cents less than the state’s 2024 highest posted price per gallon on May 3.

“Futures prices have fallen the past two weeks to the lowest levels in more than a month,” AAA’s Mark Jenkins said.

“This lowered the cost of gasoline production. However, Florida gas prices have been erratic this summer and an early week rally is not out of the question.”
