Gas prices soar by double digits in Florida. What’s the cost in your area?
Florida gas prices have jumped this week as uncertainly grips the Middle East. The double-digit increase wiped out a big drop last week.
The cost of gas is up by nearly 17 cents a gallon in South Florida. But prices in the Miami area are unchanged from a month ago and stand 28 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.
North Florida remains the cheapest to get gas in the state. Naples and Palm Beach County are among the most expensive areas.
Gas analysts say drivers should brace for more increases from the conflict involving Iran, Israel and the United States.
“Drivers in the U.S. could see higher prices at the pump if tensions persist or if oil flows are disrupted,” said AAA spokesperson Mark Jenkins. “So far, the impact has been measured, but market watchers are keeping a close eye on how things unfold in the coming days.”
Here’s what to know if you’re commuting or traveling in Florida:

What the experts are saying
▪ Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy: “With Israel and Iran trading attacks over the past week, oil prices have continued to climb — and gasoline prices are following suit, rising at a pace we haven’t seen since last summer. Few pumps have been immune, with nearly all states seeing gas prices rise over the last week. Additionally, average diesel prices recorded their largest weekly jump since August 2023. Now, with the U.S. launching attacks on Iran, oil prices are likely to continue trending higher. That said, I do not expect the apocalyptic spikes being circulated by some so-called influencers on social media— many of which are wildly inaccurate. For now, motorists should anticipate a continued steady climb in prices, with the national average likely to increase another 7 to 15 cents this week, while diesel could rise by 10 to 20 cents. These forecasts remain fluid and could shift quickly depending on global developments.”
