“The increase was in response to the rise in crude oil prices, which occurred two weeks ago,” AAA stated in a news release. “Fortunately, crude oil prices fell last week, and gas prices are doing the same.”

According to AAA, the state’s gas price average fell 4 cents per gallon from Friday to Sunday, coming in at $3.29 per gallon Sunday.

“The U.S. price of crude settled at $85.54 per barrel,” the news release stated. “That’s down $3.21 per barrel (-4%) from the week before. Gasoline futures declined 6 cents.”

The most expensive metro markets are currently West Palm Beach-Boca Raton ($3.48), Naples ($3.35) and Tallahassee ($3.34).

The least expensive metro markets are Pensacola ($3.06), Crestview-Fort Walton ($3.09) and Panama City ($3.18).
