Gas prices have jumped again this week in Florida.
The cost of gas is up by 10 cents a gallon in the state, including South Florida. But prices in the Miami area are about the same from a month ago and stand 43 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.
“Lower oil prices helped make this Independence Day one of the most affordable in recent years,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “In Florida, however, prices continue to fluctuate week to week, as local stations adjust prices to remain competitive with nearby retailers. When prices eventually reach a low that’s no longer profitable, retailers raise them back up. This strategy has fueled short-term volatility at the pump — even as national prices and other drivers relatively stable.”

What the experts are saying
▪ Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy: “Nearly every state saw average gas prices decline for the second straight week, even as the nation celebrated July 4 with the lowest national average for Independence Day since 2020. That downward momentum may continue, as OPEC’s weekend decision to boost production by a larger-than-expected 548,000 barrels per day in August adds further pressure to oil prices— potentially accelerating supply builds. If tensions in the Middle East remain contained and the Gulf is spared from major hurricanes, the odds are improving that the national average could dip below $3 per gallon later this summer, but in the meantime we could see the national average falling to its lowest summer level since the pandemic.”
