Gas prices in Florida are holding steady at $3.74 per gallon this week, according to the latest data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). This is slightly below the national average of $3.855 per gallon, giving Florida drivers a small break at the pump.
While gas prices have remained stable, diesel prices continue to be higher, averaging $4.796 per gallon nationwide. However, Florida drivers are still paying less for diesel compared to many other parts of the country.
Florida is among the cheapest areas in the country for gas, with prices about 2.98% below the national average. This puts the state in good company with other regions where fuel costs are more manageable. For context, the most expensive gas prices can be found in California, where drivers are paying $5.200 per gallon, while the cheapest prices are in Texas, at $3.371 per gallon.
The spread between gas and diesel prices remains significant, with diesel costing notably more per gallon. As always, drivers can rely on data from the EIA to stay informed about fuel costs in their area.
