Relief may be in sight for Florida drivers as statewide gas prices are expected to steadily decrease this week, AAA – The Auto Club Group says. On Sunday, the state average reached $3.61 per gallon of regular after declining by 3 cents per gallon from Friday – the state's highest 2024 average of $3.64 per gallon. "Drivers will likely be happy to hear that they may soon get a break from rising prices at the pump," said the group's spokesperson, Mark Jenkins. "The price of oil took a step back last week, enabling gasoline futures to drop 20 cents per gallon." The U.S. price of crude oil dropped below $80 per barrel Wednesday, settling at $78.11 per barrel. Prices have been above $80 for "the better part of the past two months." "Unless those prices suddenly rebound this week, drivers should see gas prices steadily move lower this week," Jenkins said.
