Motorists in Florida saw the average price of gasoline leap 20 cents in one week after demand during the Fourth of July holiday, according to AAA.
The AAA auto club said Monday that a gallon of regular unleaded gas in Florida cost $3.46, up from $3.27 a week earlier.
“Last week’s jump at the pump came immediately after Independence Day when AAA forecast a record number of Floridians would take a road trip for the holiday,” AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins said in a prepared statement. “Fortunately, oil prices remain low. Unless that changes this week, the upward pressure on gas prices should ease soon.”
While holiday demand affected prices at the pump in Florida, the national average held at $3.54 over the past week.To minimize driving time, it’s advisable to bundle errands together.Pay with cash. Some retailers charge extra per gallon for customers who pay with a credit card.
