Summer begins with lowest gas prices in 12 years

ORLANDO, Fla. – Drivers planning to hit the road for summer vacation will be saving money on gas. 

According to AAA, pump prices are the lowest they have been in 12 years. 

Experts say the average price for a gallon of regular gas in Florida from June 1 to June 25 was $2.31. That's down 1 cent from the same time last year. 

AAA reports that is the lowest price for summer since 2005, when the national average was $2.13 per gallon. 

Currently, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline is $2.26. In Florida, the average is $2.20 per gallon. 

Experts say the lower gas prices are due to a drop in crude oil prices.
