Florida gas prices surged 21 cents per gallon last week – Orlando Sentinel

The state average for a gallon of gas is $4.33.

It’s 15 cents more than a week ago, 35 cents more than a month ago and $1.16 more than this time last year, according to AAA – The Auto Club Group.

“Rising oil prices contributed to the latest jump at the pump,” said spokesman Mark Jenkins. “Ongoing tensions in the Middle East have created uncertainty about global oil supplies. That uncertainty has placed renewed upward pressure on oil prices.”

The most expensive metro markets are West Palm Beach-Boca Raton ($4.45), Homosassa Springs ($4.37) and Naples ($4.37).

The least expensive are Panama City ($4.04), Crestview-Fort Walton Beach ($4.05) and Pensacola ($4.05).
