From AAA
Summary:
Florida gas prices surged as rising crude oil prices pushed fuel costs higher nationwide. The state average reached $4.30 per gallon Sunday, 15 cents higher than a week earlier, while drivers are now paying about $65 to fill a 15-gallon tank.
Florida gas prices surged 21 cents per gallon last week as rising crude oil prices pushed fuel costs higher nationwide. Friday's state average of $4.33 per gallon was the highest daily price since May 2026. Prices edged lower through the weekend, settling at $4.30 per gallon on Sunday.
Sunday's state average is:
- 15 cents more than a week ago
- 35 cents more than a month ago
- $1.16 per gallon more than this time last year
The increase in pump prices comes as crude oil prices continue to climb. Oil prices rose by as much as 27% during the past three weeks, with Tuesday's closing price of $105.83 per barrel marking the highest daily settlement since May.
"Rising oil prices contributed to the latest jump at the pump," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA - The Auto Club Group. "Ongoing tensions in the Middle East have created uncertainty about global oil supplies. That uncertainty has placed renewed upward pressure on oil prices. Since oil accounts for about half the price of gasoline, higher crude costs are making their way to gas stations nationwide."
Oil prices remain volatile, and future movement at the pump will largely depend on developments in global oil markets.
Drivers are now paying about $65 to fill an average-sized 15-gallon gas tank. That's roughly $6 more than a month ago and nearly $20 more than this time last year.
