"Florida drivers are benefiting from low oil prices, which held pretty steady last week, thanks to ongoing market sentiment that global oil supply is stronger than demand," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. "The state average should continue trickling lower this week, as it makes a likely push below $2.55 per gallon before Friday."
