Florida Gas Prices Rise 40 Cents to New 4-Year High
AAA said the increase adds about $22 to fill an average tank as crude oil and gasoline futures push prices higher.
- Florida gas prices reached a four-year high of $4.34 per gallon on Sunday, surging 40 cents over the past week, according to AAA.
- The ongoing Iran conflict has created significant upward pressure on fuel costs, with crude oil prices rising 13 percent and gasoline futures gaining 46 cents.
- This surge adds about $22 to the cost of filling an average gas tank, with prices ranging from $3.96 in Pensacola to $4.50 in the West Palm Beach-Boca Raton area.
- Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, warned that diesel prices hitting $5.41 threaten economic stability, with higher input costs likely increasing food prices later.
- AAA expects continued volatility but suggests future increases may be less steep than last week's surge, while recommending drivers combine errands to improve fuel economy.
