The auto giant also said you can expect prices to keep falling for the next several days.

“Oil prices dropped 8% two weeks ago, then hung relatively steady last week, enabling pump prices to decline,” AAA’s Mark Jenkins said.

But don’t get too comfortable with the downward trend.

Jenkins said drivers are likely to see an increase in prices as soon as Nov. 1 — a day after the state’s gas tax holiday ends.

As of Monday, the average price for a gallon of gas in Florida was $3.35, which means you’ll pay about $50 for a full tank.
