ORLANDO, Fla. — As the Memorial Day travel weekend draws near, gas prices don’t seem to be doing Florida drivers any favors.
As a matter of fact, AAA reported that our pain at the pump in The Sunshine State shot up 22 cents a gallon overnight.
Florida’s average price now sits at $4.43, up from $4.21 on Monday.
If you took a holiday road trip last year at this time, fuel was much more friendly to your wallet. The price for a gallon of regular gas was $3.03. That translated into about $21 less for a fill-up of your 15-gallon gas tank.
Here’s a look at Central Florida’s metro areas:
Orlando: Expect to pay around $4.47 per gallon -- that’s an overnight increase of 32 cents.
Daytona Beach: A gallon of gas is up to $4.48 -- 23 cents higher compared to Monday.
Melbourne-Titusville: The average price for a gallon of gas is $4.40, up 25 cents in just one day.
