“Crude oil prices are flat, despite various geopolitical issues,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Last week, the state average briefly dipped below $3 a gallon for the first time since December. However, the state average rebounded to its current price, which is within the same range that gas prices have been in through most of this year.”

Despite the recent fluctuations, fuel prices in Florida have remained relatively stable, with analysts keeping an eye on global market trends that could impact costs in the coming weeks.
