AAA says the average is still lower than what drivers paid a year ago when prices were $3.30 per gallon.
“Florida drivers have seen some volatility in prices at the pump in recent weeks and that trend could continue in the coming weeks,” AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins said in a release. “Gasoline supplies are strong right now, due to strong refinery activity and seasonally low demand. That would normally help keep gas prices low, but oil prices remain propped up by concerns over the possibility of widening conflict in the Middle East.”
