“Low oil prices have kept pump prices in check,” AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins said in a release. “Floridians planning to hit the road for Labor Day weekend are likely to find the lowest gas prices for the holiday weekend in three years.”

Florida drivers paid $3.68 per gallon on Labor Day 2023 and $3.52 during the 2022 holiday weekend. The state average was $3.02 per gallon on Labor Day weekend 2021.

Regional Prices

  • Most expensive metro markets – West Palm Beach-Boca Raton ($3.45), Gainesville ($3.37), Naples ($3.37)
  • Least expensive metro markets – Crestview-Fort Walton Beach ($3.02), Pensacola ($3.06), Panama City ($3.06)

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 percent.
  • Drive conservatively. Aggressive acceleration and speeding reduces fuel economy.
