News Summary
Gasoline prices in Jacksonville have decreased by an average of 20.6 cents per gallon over the past week, now averaging $2.87. This price reflects a decline from last month and a more significant drop compared to last year. While prices vary across the city, the state’s gas prices show a larger gap.

Jacksonville has seen a notable decline in gasoline prices, with an average drop of 20.6 cents per gallon over the past week. Drivers in the city now pay an average of $2.87 per gallon, a price that is also 20.6 cents lower than one month ago and significantly 57.5 cents lower than the same time last year.
Across Jacksonville, gas prices varied widely, with the cheapest station offering fuel at $2.61 per gallon and the most expensive charging $3.39 per gallon. This represents a difference of 78.0 cents between the lowest and highest prices available in the city. In the broader state of Florida, gas prices ranged even more dramatically, from as low as $2.53 per gallon to as high as $4.39 per gallon, showcasing a substantial $1.86 price gap.
On a national scale, average gasoline prices have seen a slight increase, rising by 1.2 cents per gallon over the past week, bringing the national average to $3.11 per gallon. While this marks a 1.3 cent increase compared to one month ago, it is still 32.8 cents lower than prices from a year prior.
State and National Trends
Currently, the average gas price in Florida stands at $2.94 per gallon, which is a decrease from $3.03 per gallon recorded last week. This represents a decline of approximately 7 cents over the past month. In comparison to the same period last year, when Florida’s average gas price was higher at $3.03 per gallon, prices today reflect a 3% decrease.
While Jacksonville experiences a regional drop in prices, the national landscape has seen modest fluctuations, with some states facing double-digit increases or decreases in gas costs. In particular, diesel prices at the national level have seen a minor decrease of 0.1 cents in the past week, settling at $3.708 per gallon.
Market Influences
Patrick De Haan, an authority in petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, noted that oil prices have experienced volatility, briefly reaching $70 per barrel before subsiding. This decline follows announcements from OPEC+ regarding plans to increase oil production, which could further impact gasoline prices moving forward. OPEC+ is expected to fully restore oil production levels to those seen in 2023, amidst growing economic concerns that may influence the market.
Overall, as economic conditions fluctuate and production levels are restored, experts suggest that consumers may continue to see declines in gas prices in the near future. However, as the average gas price in the U.S. is recorded at $3.12, Florida’s prices remain approximately 5.5% lower than the national average, offering some financial relief for drivers in the Sunshine State.
With these ongoing changes, Jacksonville residents can anticipate further adjustments at the pump, reflecting a broader trend seen both statewide and nationally.
