Gas prices have hit a new low mark in Florida. See the cheapest places to pump

Gas prices are still sliding.

After a double-digit plunge last week, prices have inched down in Florida this week, dipping about 2 cents a gallon.

Miami-area prices are down about 20 cents from a month ago and 15 cents from a year ago, according to GasBuddy, a national fuel monitoring service that surveys nearly 1,700 stations in South Florida.

State prices are averaging $2.89 a gallon on Monday, Oct. 20, the lowest since December 2023.

“Florida gas prices continue to fluctuate week to week, but the overall trajectory is downward,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA - The Auto Club Group. “Robust global oil supplies and the seasonal dip in gasoline demand have helped push pump prices to their lowest level in almost two years.”

North Florida remains the cheapest to get gas in the state. Naples and Palm Beach County are among the most expensive areas.
