Gas prices are down again. But the trend may not last long.
“Gasoline prices are set to rise further this week,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, noting that the national average already has increased on Monday.
Even with this week’s decrease, the average Miami-area price is more than a penny higher per gallon than a month ago and 98 cents 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 rose in 39 states over the last week, with the national average moving higher, while diesel prices declined in most states, offering a brief divergence at the pump. However, that divergence may prove short-lived. Oil prices have been climbing again as markets react to renewed geopolitical tensions and the cancellation of talks between the U.S. and Iran.” As a result, gasoline prices are set to rise further this week, with diesel expected to follow. Many inland states— including those in the Great Lakes and Plains— could see average gas prices climb to their highest levels since 2022, while price-cycling markets may also experience another round of hikes in the next few days.”
