Gas prices across most of Florida continue to waver under the $4 mark.<\/p>\n
According to AAA, the state\u2019s average price of a gallon of gas was $3.85 on Monday, 1 cent lower than a week earlier and 77 cents more than a year ago.<\/p>\n
Averages on Monday ranged from $3.55 in Escambia County to $4.11 in Monroe County. Palm Beach County, at $4.04, was the only other county on Monday topping the $4 mark.<\/p>\n
Since the state average dipped under $4 on June 2, the daily mark has been around $3.85 a gallon, with a low of $3.62 on June 22.<\/p>\n
Prior to the start of military strikes on Iran on Feb. 28, the average was under $2.90.<\/p>\n
AAA Florida spokesman Mark Jenkins cautioned that prices in the state could soon rise as the U.S. price of crude oil was up 5 percent over the week.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat could limit how much further pump prices fall in the near term,\u201d Jenkins stated in a release. \u201cIf crude oil remains elevated, drivers could see renewed upward pressure at the pump.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nationally, the average was $4.06 on Monday, a 5-cent increase on the week.<\/p>\n
Diesel in Florida stood at $5.38 a gallon on Monday, a 9-cent increase from a week earlier. A year ago, diesel in Florida averaged $3.65 a gallon.<\/p>\n
For motorists with electric vehicles, the average kilowatt hour cost at charging stations in Florida on Sunday rounded down to 41 cents, a rate mostly unchanged since early March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By The News Service of Florida Gas prices across most of Florida continue to waver under the $4…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13804,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[232,234,233],"class_list":["post-374636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee-headlines","tag-tallahassee-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374636","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=374636"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374636\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13804"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=374636"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=374636"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=374636"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
