After hitting a 15-month low last week, Florida gas prices took a big bounce before dropping lower by the weekend.

Last Monday, the state average for gas was $2.96 a gallon. It was the lowest daily average price since December 2023, according to AAA. 

The average then rose 19 cents per gallon by Thursday, which was 8 cents less than the highest daily average price this year, AAA said.  

"Florida gas prices followed a familiar trend of rising in the first half of the week, then falling through the weekend. This cycle has carried on since September, with pump prices mostly swinging between $3.00 per gallon and $3.20 per gallon," AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins said. 

Sunday's state average was $3.11 per gallon. That's 14 cents more than a week ago, the same as a month ago, and 49 cents per gallon less than this time last year, according to AAA. The national average was $3.17 per gallon.
