MIAMI – Gasoline prices will likely be the lowest in years this coming Labor Day weekend.
On Sunday, the state averaged $3.29 per gallon, the lowest daily average price in two months.
At the beginning of last week, the national average rose 8 cents, according to AAA, then reversed course and fell 9 cents by the weekend.
“Low oil prices have kept prices at the pump in check,” said AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins. “Floridians planning to travel over Labor Day weekend will likely find the lowest gas prices for the holiday weekend in three years.”
On Labor Day 2023, Florida drivers paid $3.68 per gallon and $3.52 over the holiday weekend in 2022. The national average was $3.02 per gallon over Labor Day weekend in 2021.
