Florida gas prices sink to seven month low

MIAMI - Florida drivers continue to see good news at the pump.

Statewide, gas prices have dropped to the lowest levels since February. The state average declined 9 cents last week, falling to $3.45 per gallon on Sunday.

Despite a brief 9-cent uptick in late August, pump prices have largely declined throughout the summer. Drivers are now paying $1.44 per gallon less than what they paid in mid-June. That amounts to an average savings of nearly $22 on a full tank of gas.

"The oil market finished flat last week, which should enable the state average to continue moving lower," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. "Unless fundamentals shift, Florida's average gas price should fall into the $3.30s this week."

In Miami on Monday, the average was $3.51 a gallon, Fort Lauderdale's average was $3.49 and it was averaging $3.75 in the Florida Keys.
