Florida motorists are seeing a modest increase at the pump this week, with the state average for gasoline reaching $3.09 per gallon on Sunday. This represents a slight rise from last week’s average of $3.075 per gallon.
Despite the marginal uptick, drivers should not anticipate significant price swings in the near future.
“Oil prices have remained stable for the past two weeks,” stated Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA. “This should enable Florida gas prices to remain within the same 20-cent range they’ve cycled in for the better part of the past year.”

This stability in oil prices is a key factor in the current forecast, suggesting a predictable market for consumers.
