Gas prices slipped even lower through the holiday weekend. On Sunday, the state average was $3.39 per gallon. That’s the lowest daily average price since November 2nd.
The state average is now on a 17-day streak of declines, dropping a total of 19 cents during that time.
"Gas prices are being pressured lower by steep drops in the price of oil, and strong gains in domestic gasoline supplies," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. "Unless there’s a shift in fundamentals, the state average could sink even lower this week, with the potential of dipping below $3.30 per gallon in the next week or two."
Oil prices have plummeted nearly 20% in the past three weeks. The price of U.S. oil sank to $76.28 per barrel on Friday. That’s $16/b less than the closing price three weeks ago. A price drop of that magnitude can trigger a 40 cent swing at the pump. So far, Florida gas prices have declined 20 cents during that same period.
