Gas prices have dipped below $4 a gallon in Florida. Check your area
Gas prices in Florida are averaging less than $4 a gallon again. Last week, prices dropped by double digits. And they’re down another couple of cents this week.
But that trend could change again with the uncertainty in the Middle East.
”Gasoline prices are likely to rise again in the days ahead, with diesel expected to follow if disruptions persist, and many of the states that exhibit price cycling could see increases in the next 24-48 hours,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.
Even with this week’s decrease, the average Miami-area price is more than 9 cents higher per gallon than a month ago and $1.11 higher than a year ago, according to GasBuddy, a national fuel monitoring service that surveys nearly 1,700 stations in South Florida.
North Florida remains the cheapest to pump in Florida while Naples and Palm Beach County are the most expensive areas to buy gas, according to AAA.

What the experts are saying
▪ Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy: “Average gasoline prices declined in 48 states over the last week, while diesel prices fell in 46 states, offering a welcome break at pumps, with the national average price of gasoline dipping below the $4 per gallon mark over the weekend. However, that relief may prove fleeting. Oil prices surged in Sunday night trading after Iran re-closed the Strait of Hormuz and President Trump signaled further escalation if Tehran does not come to an agreement. With global oil flows remaining at risk, renewed volatility is taking hold, and the continued back-and-forth is making any lasting resolution increasingly fragile.”
