“The price of crude continues to influence prices at the pump,” said AAA spokesperson Mark Jenkins. “Oil prices increased early last week on renewed optimism about the U.S. economy after a July domestic consumer spending report was better than analysts expected. By the end of the week, however, weak economic data from China caused oil prices to soften.”
The most expensive metro market in the state was in West Palm Beach and Boca Raton at $3.49, AAA said. The least expensive was the Crestview-Fort Walton Beach area at $3.13.
