TAMPA, Fla. – Gas prices in Florida are declining again after a surprise hike last week. AAA says the state average rose 6 cents per gallon last week but has since dropped by 3 cents a gallon.
"Florida gas prices inexplicably increased last week, despite falling fundamentals like oil and wholesale prices, which would normally lead to lower prices at the pump," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. "Despite last week's abrupt price hike, Florida gas prices remain 20 cents less than this year's highest daily price. Florida's state average should be heading toward $2.50 per gallon."
