STATEWIDE — AAA stated that Florida has seen a massive jump to its average gas prices on Tuesday.

Florida’s average gas price on Tuesday is $3.27 per gallon, a 13-cent jump from the day before, stated AAA. 

• Monday: $3.14 
• Sunday: $3.14 

The current record for the average price of gas in Florida is $4.89 that was set on Monday, June 13, 2022.

In February 2022, Florida drivers were paying an average of about $3.50 per gallon.

National gas prices

The national average price of gas on Tuesday is at $3.23 per gallon, a three-cent increase from the previous day, according to AAA.

• Monday: $3.20
• Sunday: $3.19

The current national record was set on Sunday, June 12, 2022, at $5.01 per gallon.

The previous record high had been $4.33, set on March 11, 2022. But the old record was $4.08 per gallon, set on July 16, 2008.  

For some context, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says $4.11 in 2008 was worth about $5.25 in 2022. AAA had predicted prices would keep spiking and that they could resume their climb, which they did after a short-term decline.
