Gas prices hit a three-month high in Florida after increasing by 30 cents per gallon over the past two weeks alone, according to the latest figures from AAA. On Friday, July 28, the state average reached $3.67 per gallon with prices in Hillsborough, Pinellas and Polk counties holding close to the statewide average. This is the highest daily average for prices at the pump since mid-April, although it stops short of the 2023 peak price of $3.72 per gallon, and it leaves Florida below the national average of $3.75 per gallon. "Oil prices are the primary culprit behind the recent jump at the pump," said AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins in a press release. "The U.S. price of oil rose 15% through the past five weeks, which raised the cost of producing gasoline."
