Currently, the average price for a gallon of regular gas in the Sunshine State is $2.75.
The national average is a bit lower, at $2.69 per gallon.
Florida's gas prices averaged $2.58 per gallon for the entire month of March. That is the highest since 2014, when regular was going for $3.53 per gallon.
Experts at AAA say the reason for the increase is rising demand and lower supplies due to refineries switching to summer blends.
