Florida gas prices are on the decline

Experts cite this is a result of summertime fuel demand

Gas pump.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Gas prices are once again on the decline after a 4-week high of $3.47. The state average steadily declined a total of 6 cents on Sunday.

“Summertime fuel demand is off to a strong start, which will likely contribute to continued volatility at the pump through the next several months,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA.

WAYS TO SAVE ON GASOLINE

  • Combine errands to limit driving time.
  • Shop around for the best gas prices in your community.
  • Pay with cash. Some retailers charge extra per gallon for customers who pay with a credit card.
  • Remove excess weight in your vehicle. Every 100 pounds taken out of the vehicle improves fuel economy by 1-2%.
  • Drive conservatively. Aggressive acceleration and speeding reduces fuel economy.
