Florida gas prices are changing. What about holiday travel? See how much we're paying
Briefly

Floridians planning to hit the road for Labor Day weekend are likely to find the lowest gas prices for the holiday weekend in three years, according to AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins. This is a promising trend for those traveling during the busy holiday season and indicates a significant decrease in gas prices compared to previous years. As families gear up for their trips, this development is likely to impact their travel budgets positively.
According to GasBuddy, prices in the Miami area slid more than 3 cents a gallon—down over 14 cents from a month ago and down more than 42 cents from a year ago. This sharp decline reflects the changing dynamics of the gas market in Florida and suggests that travelers may experience substantial savings this holiday weekend, contributing to a more enjoyable travel experience.
Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, remarked, "It seems fitting that, in the run-up to Labor Day, the national average has fallen for four straight weeks to $3.35. This consistent drop can offer travelers some relief, yet there's still uncertainty regarding future gas prices. Consumers should remain vigilant as they plan their trips and keep an eye on potential fluctuations as the holiday approaches."
