Florida gas prices have declined 31 cents per gallon over the past 17 days, AAA said.
As of Sunday, 88% of Florida gas stations have prices below $3 a gallon, and 33% of filling stations were offering $2.75 per gallon or cheaper, the travel agency said in a news release.
“Pump prices are falling at the perfect time as more than 6 million Floridians prepare to take a road trip for the year-end holidays,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA. “Strong domestic gasoline supplies and low oil prices have contributed to the downward pressure on prices at the pump. Oil prices regained some strength last week, so a modest increase is possible at the pump, but AAA expects gas prices to remain low through the holidays.”
