Florida’s gas prices have dropped to the lowest they’ve been in nearly a month – that’s a trend likely driven by concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic.
Auto club AAA reports that the average gas price statewide is $2.08 per gallon.
In some parts of South Florida, gas prices dropped as low as $1.79 per gallon.
But South Florida still remains the most expensive region in Florida for gasoline. Palm Beach County reported average prices as high as $2.22 per gallon.
Experts say that the downward trend could be due to a resurgence in COVID-19 cases.
