“The plunge at the pump is the result of falling oil prices, which have plummeted primarily due to market concerns about a global economic recession,” AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins said in a news release. “Lower oil prices lowers the cost of producing gasoline. These low gas prices should hang around through the end of the year, unless oil prices unexpectedly rebound.”
The drop in prices comes ahead of the holiday weekend, with an expected 5.8 million Floridians hitting the road.
