South Floridians are searching for lower gas costs as prices continue to rise rapidly this week due to the ongoing war in Iran<\/a>. The substantial increase<\/a> has pushed the average price per gallon well over $3 in some areas, according to a CBS Miami survey on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Warehouse club members are finding relief at outlets like Sam’s Club, BJ’s, and Costco. At a Costco in Davie, regular unleaded was selling for $2.79 a gallon on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“We save money,” said Junior Dominique, a newly married father-to-be. “I have a baby on the way so it’s more money for the baby.”<\/p>\n

The price was $2.88 a gallon at the BJ’s off West Commercial Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

However, prices are much higher at many regular gas stations. AAA Florida spokesman Mark Jenkins said the rise in gas prices has been significant throughout the state.<\/p>\n

“We are 26 cents more this week, 32 cents more from last week, and 16 cents more since last year,” Jenkins said.<\/p>\n

In Broward County, where gas was easy to find for under $3 a gallon last week, the average price was $3.29 a gallon on Wednesday in Pompano Beach, Oakland Park and Fort Lauderdale. In Miami-Dade County, gas was running $3.19 a gallon in Doral but just below $3 a gallon in North Bay Village and West Miami-Dade.<\/p>\n

“We are seeing the largest increase since last year,” Jenkins noted, adding that prices shot up an average of 21 cents in just two days alone.<\/p>\n

For the moment, Jenkins said oil prices are stabilizing, making it hard to predict how much higher gas prices may go with the Iran crisis in flux.<\/p>\n

“Don’t freak out,” he advised. “We are not at the level we were when Russia invaded Ukraine and gas shot up to $5 a gallon.”<\/p>\n
