Florida gas prices spiked 14 cents last week but most of the price increase disappeared by Sunday.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, the average coast for a gallon of gas was $4.02, according to AAA \u2013 The Auto Club Group.<\/p>\n
That price was 2 cents less than a week ago, 7 cents more than a month ago and $1 more than last year.<\/p>\n
Gas prices could drift lower this week. Reports the Strait of Hormuz would reopen to commercial shipping caused crude oil prices to drop around $13. The drop could translate into a roughly 30 percent swing at the pump.<\/p>\n
\u201cOil prices are reacting to fast\u2011moving headlines, and that volatility makes it difficult to predict what drivers will see at the pump,\u201d said spokesman Mark Jenkins.<\/p>\n
Jenkins noted the drop could provide some short-term relief but with Middle East conditions still unclear, prices could move higher again.<\/p>\n
The most expensive metro markets are West Palm Beach-Boca Raton ($4.19), Naples ($4.11) and Fort Lauderdale ($4.09).<\/p>\n
The least expensive metro markets are Panama City ($3.73), Pensacola ($3.76) and Cresview-Fort Walton Beach ($3.78).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Florida gas prices spiked 14 cents last week but most of the price increase disappeared by Sunday.
