With the busy Memorial Day weekend in the rearview window, Florida gas prices trended slightly higher last week.
As of Monday, the state average price was $3.08 a gallon, that’s up two cents from a week ago, according to AAA.
“Oil prices have remained stable for the past two weeks,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “This should enable Florida gas prices to remain within the same 20-cent range they’ve cycled in for the better part of the past year.”
In Miami-Dade on Monday, the average was $3.02 per gallon, about the same as last week. In Broward, drivers were paying $3.09 a gallon, up a penny from last week.

Tips for saving at the pump
AAA encourages drivers to combine errands, drive conservatively, remove excess vehicle weight, shop around using the AAA mobile app, and consider paying with cash to avoid credit card surcharges.
AAA members can also save by enrolling in gas rewards programs, such as Shell’s Fuel Rewards or discounts at Love’s Travel Stops.
