Gas Still Reaching Record Levels

TAMPA – Gasoline prices have constantly been setting new records and this week will be no exception, according to AAA Auto Club South.

Crude oil inventories are rising and demand is down, but OPEC output for March is at its lowest point in five years, according to a AAA media release. As a result, retail fuel prices are expected to rise.

The average price for a gallon of regular gas in Florida is $3.38. That is 13 cents higher than it was March 1 and 60 cents higher than a year ago.
