West Palm Beach, Fla. — Florida drivers are noticing a slight increase in gas prices this week as the state average rose to **$3.12 per gallon** on Sunday. This marks a two-cent increase from the previous week, according to reports.
The **American Automobile Association (AAA)** indicated that over the last three months, the state average for gasoline has fluctuated between **$2.99 per gallon** and **$3.20 per gallon**. Mark Jenkins, a spokesman for the Auto Club Group, explained that low oil prices have prevented any significant increases at the pump. “During this time, fluctuations have been minimal,” he stated.
AAA highlighted that last week’s gas prices saw ups and downs. Starting at **$3.10 per gallon**, the price dipped to **$3.03** on Friday before climbing back to **$3.12** on Sunday. For context, the average price in December was noted at **$3.07 per gallon**, which is **2 cents lower** than November’s average and **4 cents lower** than October’s average.
This week’s report from AAA also revealed notable regional variations across Florida. The **West Palm Beach-Boca Raton** region, **Homosassa Springs**, and **Naples** are currently the most expensive markets for gasoline. Meanwhile, places like **Crestview-Fort Walton Beach**, **Panama City**, and **Pensacola** are offering more economical prices.
In response to the rising gas prices, AAA has offered several tips for drivers seeking to save on fuel. Suggestions include:
The slight uptick in gas prices may be seen as a relief for some Floridians who had anticipated more significant changes. As the market continues to stabilize, drivers can implement savings strategies to offset the increased costs. With careful planning and awareness, it is possible to navigate these changes effectively.
