DAVIE \u2014 At $3.24 a gallon, the price for regular unleaded at Costco in Davie on Monday was enough to draw hundreds of drivers looking for relief at the pump.<\/p>\n

Gas prices<\/a> across South Florida have surged in a week, fueled by uncertainty over the situation in Iran<\/a>. Drivers are feeling the pinch, including Uber driver Adriana, who said, “In just one week, it’s a dollar more a gallon. So it’s a lot.”<\/p>\n

With prices jumping, CBS News Miami searched for some of the best deals:\u00a0<\/p>\n

$3.59 a gallon on Miller Drive in Miami$3.59 a gallon off Ives Dairy and I-95 in Miami$3.37 a gallon at NE 4th Ave and 13th Street in Fort Lauderdale$2.99 a gallon at 126 North Federal Highway in Hallandale Beach<\/p>\n

“So much has changed in 12 hours. We don’t know what tomorrow may bring,” said Mark Jenkins of AAA Florida.<\/p>\n

Oil prices spiked to nearly $120 a barrel overnight before falling back below $90 by the market close Monday. Jenkins said if current trends hold, prices could plateau, but the market remains unpredictable.<\/p>\n

The good news: Jenkins says gas supplies remain strong, so shortages are not expected. The only question will be where prices go next.<\/p>\n
