  • Most expensive gas price averages: Panama City ($2.45), West Palm Beach-Boca Raton ($2.34), Miami ($2.31)
  • Least expensive gas price averages: Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater ($2.00), Melbourne-Titusville ($2.00), Orlando ($2.01)

After plunging from $75 per barrel to $43 per barrel at the end of last year, crude prices are back above $50 per barrel, which raises the cost of producing gasoline.

“The new year has breathed new life back into the oil market,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Crude prices have slowly climbed since the beginning of the year, but remain well below the highs seen in 2018.

The biggest increases came last week after Saudi leaders pledged to do whatever it takes to rebalance the market.

The recent shift in oil prices isn’t enough to cause sticker shock at the pump, but motorists could see an increase of anywhere from 5-10 cents as a result.”

The daily price for WTI crude is up more than $6 since January 1. After trading above $53 per barrel last week, WTI settled at $51.59/b Friday on the NYMEX.
