Gas prices have increased in South Florida. Check your area

Gas prices are still going up in South Florida. Will the trend continue?

“Gasoline prices bounced higher last week, in response to oil price gains the week before,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Fortunately, oil prices moved lower last week. That could ease some of the upward pressure on prices at the pump.”

On Monday, Sept 28, prices are up by double digits in Florida and 5 to 9 cents in South Florida, according to AAA.

The average price in Miami and Fort Lauderdale is 41 cents a gallon higher than a month ago and $1.43 higher than a year ago, according to GasBuddy, a national fuel monitoring service that surveys nearly 1,700 stations in South Florida

North Florida is the cheapest to pump in Florida while the Keys and Palm Beach County are the most expensive areas to buy gas, according to AAA.

What the experts are saying

▪ Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy:

“Average gasoline prices fell in slightly more than half of states over the last week, with the Great Lakes seeing the largest declines after a major refinery successfully restarted, while the West Coast moved in the opposite direction as refinery snags there sent prices jumping significantly. Diesel in the Great Lakes should also begin easing, though that relief may take several more days to materialize. With oil holding below $100 per barrel, many Americans may see modest declines ahead for gasoline and slight drops for diesel, but the West Coast faces continued pressure with further increases possible. The broader geopolitical situation remains fluid and could push prices in either direction with little warning, and with Trump still weighing a diesel export ban, impacts could follow.”
