2024 Florida Gas Prices were Slightly Lower than 2023

Florida gas prices are beginning the near year slightly more expensive than this time in 2024. On Sunday, the state average was $3.11 per gallon. That's 4 cents more than the same day in 2024.

"Although the daily average price is slightly more expensive, Florida gas prices remain within the same range they've been in for the past four months," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group.  

On average, Florida drivers paid slightly less at the pump in 2024 than they did the year before. In 2024, Florida gas prices averaged $3.29 per gallon. In 2023, gas prices averaged $3.41/g.

Also in 2024, Florida gas prices didn't go as high as they did in 2023. Last year's highest daily average price was $3.64 per gallon. That high was recorded in May. In 2023, the highest daily state average price was $3.85/g - recorded in August.

The lowest daily average price in 2024 was $2.99 per gallon - recorded in December. The lowest daily average price in 2023 was $2.85 per gallon - also recorded in December of that year.   

Lower oil prices contributed to last year's discount at the pump. U.S. crude oil prices averaged $75.79 per barrel in 2024. That was nearly $2 per barrel less than the average price in 2023.

Crude oil prices trended higher last week. Friday's closing price of $73.96 per barrel was the highest daily settlement since mid-October. Last week's oil price gains were reportedly driven by cold weather in the US and in Europe, which leads to increased demand for heating oil. Additionally, there's renewed optimism in the global market about the Chinese economy. China is the world's largest oil importer. Last year, concerns about China's economy helped suppress oil prices, due to expectations of lower fuel demand.
