Average gas price in Florida drops to $3.64

MIAMI – The average price of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline in Florida dipped to $3.64 on Monday.

That's down 14 cents from a week earlier and 68 cents from a month earlier, according to the AAA auto club.

It remains above the average $3.01 price a year ago.

Ways to Save on Gasoline

• Combine errands to limit driving time.
• Shop around for the best gas prices in your community.
• Pay with cash. Some retailers charge extra per gallon for customers who pay with a credit card.
• Remove excess weight in your vehicle. Every 100 pounds taken out of the vehicle improves fuel economy by 1-2 percent.
• Drive conservatively. Aggressive acceleration and speeding reduce fuel economy.
