Florida gas prices have dropped 36 cents in the last 10 days, but still sit above $4 a gallon, according to AAA.<\/p>\n
By Monday morning, the average price of a gallon of regular, unleaded fuel was at $4.06 a gallon statewide, while the national average was at $4.36 a gallon.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s a further two-cent decline since AAA\u2019s weekly update detailing Sunday averages, which highlighted the drop in price as the lowest costs Florida had seen in four weeks.<\/p>\n
That week-over-week drop was 29 cents, meaning drivers on average were spending $5 to $7 less to fill up a tank, AAA stated.<\/p>\n
But even after Monday\u2019s update, the price remains 11 cents more than prices one month ago and $1.01 more than prices a year ago.<\/p>\n
The most expensive markets were West Palm Beach-Boca Raton at $4.28, Gainesville at $4.23 and Fort Lauderdale at $4.18 a gallon.<\/p>\n
The least expensive markets were all in the panhandle, with Pensacola at $3.92, Panama City at $3.93 and Crestview-Fort Walton Beach at $3.95 a gallon.<\/p>\n
In Central Florida, Lake County has the least expensive fuel at $3.96 a gallon followed by Seminole and Polk counties at $3.97, Orange at $3.99, Osceola at $4 and Brevard and Volusia counties at $4.07.<\/p>\n
AAA stated price drops were tied to a drop in oil prices that came down nearly 10% in the last two weeks.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe G7\u2019s decision to release 100 million barrels from emergency reserves, along with improving oil exports from the Middle East, helped calm supply concerns,\u201d AAA stated in a press release. \u201cAs a result, crude fell from above $100 per barrel in mid-September to $91.11 on Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Florida gas prices have dropped 36 cents in the last 10 days, but still sit above $4 a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":419282,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[558,114,139,141,140,109,76686],"class_list":["post-419281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-orlando","tag-business","tag-latest-headlines","tag-orlando","tag-orlando-headlines","tag-orlando-news","tag-social","tag-social-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419281","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=419281"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419281\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/419282"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=419281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=419281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=419281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
