Motorists on Monday paid an average of $3.44 for a gallon of regular unleaded gas, down from $3.52 a week earlier and $3.68 a month earlier.
“The oil market finished flat last week, which should enable the state average to continue moving lower,” AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins said in a prepared statement. “Unless fundamentals shift, Florida’s average gas price should fall into the $3.30s this week.”
The average price reached a high of $4.89 a gallon on June 13, before starting a steady decline.
The price Monday, however, was higher than the $3-a-gallon average a year ago. The state’s most-expensive gas Monday was in the West Palm Beach, Tallahassee and Naples markets.
The cheapest gas was in the Fort Walton Beach, Pensacola and Panama City markets, according to AAA.
