(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mysuncoast.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.mysuncoast.com\/\">WWSB<\/a>) &#8211; Florida gas prices declined for the second consecutive week, falling 72 cents per gallon over the past 18 days, AAA says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gasprices.aaa.com\/?state=FL\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/gasprices.aaa.com\/?state=FL\">Sunday\u2019s state average<\/a> of $3.80 per gallon was 27 cents less than a week ago and 72 cents less than a month ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">According to AAA, the recent drop in gas prices follows a sharp decline in oil prices over the past few weeks. However, oil prices remain sensitive to global developments, and short-term increases remain possible. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">If overnight reports of missile strikes between Israel and Iran contribute to higher oil prices, gas prices could rise as a result. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Gas prices in Florida often follow a weekly price cycle, AAA noted. Retailers typically lower prices to remain competitive, then raise them to restore margins. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">This reset can happen quickly and often leads to sudden price increases at the start of the week, with prices commonly jumping on Monday afternoons. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">As a result, even as gas prices are trending lower overall, drivers may still see short-term increases during the week.<\/p>\n<p>Regional Prices<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Most expensive metro markets \u2013 West Palm Beach-Boca Raton ($4.04), Tallahassee ($4.01), Miami ($3.96)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Least expensive metro markets \u2013 Pensacola ($3.61), Orlando ($3.64), The Villages ($3.65)<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 WWSB.
