PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. (CBS12) — Florida’s gas prices decreased by two cents, bringing the state average to $2.90 per gallon and marking the lowest daily average seen since December 2023.
Mark Jenkins, a spokesman for AAA – The Auto Club Group, noted, “Florida gas prices continue to fluctuate week to week, but the overall trajectory is downward. Robust global oil supplies and the seasonal dip in gasoline demand have helped push pump prices to their lowest level in almost two years.”
