Gas Prices in Florida Drop Slightly, Remain Below National Average

Gas prices in northeast Florida remain over $3 per gallon, but there are signs of relief. AAA reports that falling crude oil and gasoline futures have made summer road trips cheaper. However, a slight uptick in oil prices might stall the decline at the pump. The average gas price in Florida is $3.22 per gallon, down six cents from last week and 24 cents from last month, below the national average of $3.44. Flagler and Volusia counties report slightly higher prices at $3.33 and $3.27 respectively. The highest gas prices in Florida are in West Palm Beach-Boca Raton at $3.45, while the cheapest are in Crestview-Fort Walton Beach at $3.05. GasBuddy lists the most affordable gas options in Volusia and Flagler counties, though prices are subject to change and may be cash-only offers. Member-only stations are excluded. In the Ormond area the cheapest gas is at Buc-cee's at $2.99.
