Gas Prices Decline as Millions of Memorial Day Travelers Prepare to Hit the Road
Florida gas prices are moving lower as nearly 2.6 million Floridians prepare to travel for Memorial Day weekend. According to AAA's holiday travel forecast, more than 2.3 million Floridians will take a holiday road trip.
Last week, Florida gas prices declined 20 cents per gallon. The state average fell from $4.43/g to $4.23/g on Sunday. The average price travelers paid on Memorial Day 2025 was $3.06 per gallon.
"Memorial Day travelers will pay about $17 more than last year to fill an average sized tank of gas," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA - The Auto Club Group. "Global supply concerns regarding the conflict with Iran has kept upward pressure on fuel prices. This could continue through the summer months unless a resolution is reached."
Florida gas prices could jump early this week, based on recent gains in the oil market. The US price of oil incrased $10 per barrel (10%) to $105.42/b last week. Gasoline futures also climbed 18 cents per gallon. Retail prices have also followed a trend of declining for 10 days before rebounding on Monday afternoon.
