Gas prices continued their downward slide to levels last seen in December 2010 and could soon average less than $3 per gallon in Florida, according to AAA.
In Florida, prices averaged $3.03 early Monday. But they already averaged less than $3 in many metro areas including Orlando, Jacksonville and Tampa, where taxes are lower than in South Florida, according to the sun-sentinel.com.
Nationwide, Gasbuddy reports that more than 133,000 gas stations selling gas below $3 climbed to 50% of all retailers across the U.S. The last time 50% of the nation’s fuel retailers were priced below $3 was Dec. 28, 2010.
