AAA: Florida Gas Prices Are Slightly Lower Than Last Week
August 17, 2026
Florida gas prices slipped lower last week, even as oil prices moved higher. The state average fell a penny per gallon, declining from $3.88 last Sunday to $3.87 this week.
Sunday’s state average of $3.87 per gallon is one cent less than last week, two cents less than Saturday, and 79 cents more than this time last year.
In Escambia County, Sunday’s average was $3.57, down from $3.63 a week ago and $3.72 a month ago, while higher than $2.89 a year ago.
Sunday night, a low of $3.39 in North Escambia at a station on Highway 29 in Cantonment. The Pensacola area low was $3.36 at the warehouse clubs and several other stations.
“Florida drivers saw a little relief at the pump last week, even as oil prices moved higher,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “That could limit how much further pump prices fall in the near term. If crude oil remains elevated, drivers could see renewed upward pressure at the pump.”
