Florida gas prices down for fifth straight week, dropped 12 cents last week
MIAMI - Florida gas prices continue their downward trend.
Pump prices dropped 12 cents per gallon last week, according to AAA. The state average has now declined five consecutive weeks, falling a total of 54 cents per gallon since mid-November.
On Monday, Florida gas prices averaged $3.03 per gallon.
In Miami-Dade, the average was $3.25 a gallon and in Fort Lauderdale, it was $3.10 a gallon.
"The plunge at the pump is the result of falling oil prices, which have plummeted primarily due to market concerns about a global economic recession," said AAA's Mark Jenkins
Low gas prices should hang around through the end of the year unless oil prices unexpectedly rebound.
