It’s now $4 a gallon. Gas prices increase in Miami and across Florida

Gas prices in Miami and across Florida surged past $4 a gallon on Tuesday as tensions and uncertainties continue in the Middle East.

According to AAA, the average price for a gallon of gas in the state on Tuesday was $4.12, a jump from Monday’s price of $3.95. The Miami-area also saw a jump past the $4 mark, with an average price of $4.03.

The average price across the country also registered at $4 a gallon on Tuesday for the first time in three years

The Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton/West Palm Beach areas already ticked past $4 a gallon on Monday.

“Gasoline and diesel prices continue to climb to multi-year highs as the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz curtails the flow of millions of barrels of crude oil each day,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at fuel-tracking service GasBuddy.
