Florida Gas Prices are Slightly Lower Than A Week Ago
April 29, 2024
Florida gas prices increased the past three days, erasing eight consecutive days of losses. The state average dropped from $3.64 per gallon to $3.48 last week before rebounding nine cents Friday to Saturday.
Sunday’s state average was $3.57 per gallon. That is slightly less than a week ago, three cents less than last month, and 10 cents less than this time last year.
In the Pensacola area, the average was lower $3.28, the cheapest metro in the state. In North Escambia, $3.17 was available at multiple stations on Highway 29 in Cantonment. The lowest price in Pensacola Sunday night was $3.05 on East Nine Mile Road.
The price of U.S. crude oil also finished the week flat. Gasoline futures are five cents higher than a week ago.

Sorry bud. We live in a free market, capitalist society. Corporations exist to make profits for their shareholders, so as long as they have a product that you need to continue functioning in modern society (food, shelter, gas, etc), they will continue to increase the price as much as possible to maximize their bottom line.
Slightly down because spring break is over, going to go back up for the influx of the end of May visitors , that will be descending upon us in a few weeks , plus memorial day holiday …
Just saying
I am not sure it matters if its a little higher or a little lower. But I think you can safely say if the price per gallon starts with a $3.XX, its too much. As a comedian recently noted, he remembered going to the gas station as a young man and it not being a decision between, “Do I get Gas or eat this week”.
