AAA: Florida Gas Prices Jump To Most Expensive Since 2014 - CBS Miami

MIAMI (CBSMiami) — Have you filled up lately? Prices at the gas pumps are on the rise. According to AAA, Florida gas prices jumped 12 cents last week and drivers are now paying the most expensive prices since November 2014.

The price hike follows significant gains in the prices of crude oil and gasoline futures, as the recovery in global fuel demand outpaces supply.

“It now costs $2 more to fill an average-sized 15-gallon gas tank, than it did a week ago,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Fortunately, futures prices flattened out last week, so drivers should not face another round of rising prices this week.”

Gasoline Conservation Tips

• Combine errands
• Share a ride with friends/family
• Remove excess weight in your vehicle. More weight means your engine must work harder.
• Drive conservatively. “Gunning it at the green light” or slamming the accelerator makes the engine work harder and wastes gasoline.
• Perform routine maintenance.
• Ensure tires are properly inflated. Under-inflated tires reduces your mileage and increases the wear on your tires.
