Florida Gas Prices Rise Slightly Within Stable Range

Gas prices in Florida have seen a slight increase, with the state average rising to $3.09 per gallon from $3.075 the previous week, though prices are expected to remain stable due to steady oil prices. Mark Jenkins, an AAA spokesman, noted that Florida gas prices have cycled within a 20-cent range for most of the past year, reflecting a predictable market for consumers. In Alabama, the average gas price in Huntsville is lower, at $2.69 per gallon, compared to the national average of $3.14, with AAA providing tips for improving fuel efficiency amid fluctuating prices. Regional variations are evident, such as lower prices in Escambia County, Florida, where some stations offer gas as low as $2.75 per gallon. Additionally, boaters at Lake of the Ozarks face higher fuel costs, with prices ranging from $3.50 to nearly $5 per gallon depending on the fuel type and location, and discounts available through membership programs. Overall, the data reflects localized differences in gas prices across the U.S., influenced by factors such as oil price stability and regional market dynamics.
