Drivers in Florida, in the United States, will have to face another increase in fuel rates. The American Automobile Association (AAA) informed The New Herald that in the previous week an increase of $0.10 USD was evident.
The average price of gasoline in the state reached a record for the current year last Friday, with $3.48 USD per gallon. However, during Sunday, the price had a small decrease, as it was found at $3.47 USD.
AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins said oil prices rose 4% in the last week. Mr. Jenkins commented that this price increase is due to Ukraine’s military actions against Russian oil companies.
On Thursday, March 14, a cost of $81.26 USD per gallon of hydrocarbon was recorded. This figure was the highest since October 31, 2023.
Another reason for the increase in costs is the low distribution of gasoline by national companies. The increase in the rate of this fuel in the month of March is a normal trend every year in the country.
