Florida gas prices are up. Triple A said they went up a nickel last week with the average price per gallon at $2.44. Mark Jenkins, spokesman, for the Triple “A” Auto Club said that while the state average has been up and down since the summer, it has mostly held between $2.40 and $2.50 since July. Compared to this time last year, drivers are paying 20 cents less per gallon at the pump.
