Gas prices are drifting lower, reaching the low $2.00-range in many markets
Mark Jenkins, AAA Spokesman
Jenkins went on to explain that concerns about rising COVID-19 cases in Florida have kept expectations for fuel demand low, in turn keeping prices dropping.
Currently, the state average hovers around $2.09 for regular unleaded, with the least expensive median gas price being in places like Punta Gorda at $1.99, and Orlando at $2.05.
The current average price per gallon is 36 cents less than what residents were paying this time last year; a full tank will run road-trippers around $31, about $6 less than around this time last year.
