ORLANDO, Fla. – Millions of Floridians are expected to hit the road this week and when they do, they’ll be paying the most expensive Thanksgiving gas prices in eight years.
Florida’s average per-gallon price stands at $3.36, the highest mark since $3.45 in 2013, according to AAA.
AAA said the average fill-up will cost Florida drivers $50 for a 15-gallon tank, $13 more than what drivers paid in 2019 before the coronavirus pandemic.
AAA said the current national average for a gallon of gas is $3.41.
Experts say prices at the pump could decline in the coming days due to drop in crude oil prices last week.
