Florida Drivers Rejoice! Gas Prices Hit 2023 Low

State average of $3.00 a gallon was 15 cents less than last week

Tampa, FL–  Florida gas prices are now the lowest of 2023. The state average dropped 15 cents last week, settling at $3.00 per gallon on Sunday. 

“Oil and gasoline futures prices plummeted last week, after a weekly fuel report showed strong refinery activity, leading to big gains in gasoline supplies,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “About 35% of Florida gas stations now have fuel below $3 a gallon. Nearly 10% of retailers have prices in the low $2.70s. While prices could bounce around in the coming weeks, drivers should expect pump prices to remain low through the holidays unless oil prices suddenly spike.”
