AAA: Florida residents could see lowest gas prices in three years on Labor Day




TAMPA, Florida, (August 26, 2024) – Gasoline prices in Florida averaged $3.29 per gallon on Sunday, the lowest daily average price in two months.

The national average rose 8 cents early last week, but then reversed course and fell 9 cents by the weekend.

“Low oil prices have kept prices at the pump in check,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Floridians planning to hit the road over Labor Day weekend will likely find the lowest gas prices for the holiday weekend in three years.”

Florida drivers paid $3.68 per gallon on Labor Day 2023 and $3.52 over the holiday weekend in 2022. The national average was $3.02 per gallon over Labor Day weekend in 2021.
