A new report from AAA indicates that gas prices will likely continue to decline through the fall and winter seasons in Central Florida and the southeastern U.S. The average price per gallon in Orlando was $2.04 per gallon, 26 cents lower than a month ago and $1.18 lower than the same time last year. The national average has fallen to $2.29 per gallon, while the average price in Florida was $2.15 per gallon.
“Gas prices below $2 a gallon will become more of a common sight in the southeastern United States,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Prices at the pump are typically their lowest during the fall and winter seasons, because fewer Americans take extended road trips, leading to declines in demand. Plus, oil prices are especially low right now due to a wealth in global supply.”
