ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 Drivers across Florida are paying more at the pump as gas prices continue to climb.<\/p>\n

The average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in Florida surged overnight, reaching $4.29 a gallon, an increase of 10 cents from the previous day.<\/p>\n

The price is even higher in the Orlando area, where the average is now $4.34 a gallon.<\/p>\n

Diesel prices have also jumped, reaching an average of $6.34 a gallon statewide.<\/p>\n

That marks the highest average diesel price ever recorded in Florida, adding another challenge for truck drivers, businesses and others who rely heavily on diesel fuel.<\/p>\n

For motorists, the latest increase means filling up the tank is taking an even bigger bite out of household budgets.<\/p>\n
