You\u2019re not seeing things \u2014 Florida\u2019s gas prices dropped over 35 cents in the last 10 days, although they remain above $4 a gallon.<\/p>\n
On Monday, the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gas was $4.06, according to AAA.<\/p>\n
The national average remained above that, at $4.37.<\/p>\n
The decline is saving drivers roughly $5 to $7 per fill-up compared to prices seen just over a week ago, according to AAA.<\/p>\n
AAA linked the price drops to a decrease in oil prices, which came down nearly 10% in the past 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 a AAA news release said. \u201cAs a result, crude fell from above $100 per barrel in mid-September to $91.11 on Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n
Even with the double-digit drop, the price for gas remains higher than before: 26 cents more than a week earlier, 14 cents more than a month ago and $1.03 more than a year ago.<\/p>\n
The price on Monday was $4.26 in Palm Beach County, $4.17 in Broward County, $4.15 in Miami-Dade County and $4.38 in Monroe County.<\/p>\n
The most expensive metropolitan 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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You\u2019re not seeing things \u2014 Florida\u2019s gas prices dropped over 35 cents in the last 10 days, although…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":419874,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[506,558,28,29,249,251,250,114,373,115,557,109],"class_list":["post-419873","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-lauderdale","tag-broward-county","tag-business","tag-florida","tag-florida-news","tag-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","tag-fort-lauderdale-news","tag-latest-headlines","tag-miami-dade-county","tag-news","tag-palm-beach-county","tag-social"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419873","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=419873"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419873\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/419874"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=419873"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=419873"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=419873"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
