Florida gas prices are lower after an unexpected jump last week. The state average increased 11 cents per gallon on Wednesday, before declining two cents over the weekend. Florida drivers are now paying an average price of $2.52 per gallon for regular gasoline. The state average is 9 cents more than a week ago, and 24 cents per gallon more than last year. Prices appear to be trending lower to start the week, but may return to the mid-$2.40s for the state average.
