(AAA) – Florida gas prices have seen little change during the past week. The state average of $2.97 per gallon is the same as last week.
Florida drivers are now paying:
■ 4 cents per gallon less than a month ago
■ 81 cents per gallon more than a year ago
■ 43 cents per gallon more than August 1, 2019
■ $45 for a full 15-gallon tank of gasoline
“July was the most expensive month at the pump since October 2014,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA – The Auto Club Group.
“Florida gas prices remain elevated due to tightening global supplies, as demand recovers from the pandemic. “Florida gas prices averaged $2.99 per gallon, in July 2021. The monthly average was 89 cents more than what drivers paid in July 2020, and 35 cents more than July 2019.”
