AAA: Florida gasoline prices reach same average as week before
Florida gasoline prices fluctuated throughout the week before settling at the same state average as the week before, according to the AAA-The Auto Club Group.
On Sunday, the average price at the pump was $3.45 per gallon for regular gasoline, its latest news release said.
"Pump prices are drifting lower as a record-setting 2.5 million Floridians prepare to travel for Memorial Day weekend," said spokesperson Mark Jenkins. "However, ongoing geopolitical tensions could prevent pump prices from falling below year-ago levels, during the holiday weekend."
Last Memorial Day, gas prices averaged $3.41 per gallon with nearly 106,000 fewer people on the road than last year.
"The most congested periods on the road are forecast to be Thursday and Friday afternoons from 3 p.m.-7 p.m.," Jenkins said.
