The West Palm-Boca Raton metro area is paying the most for gas in Florida, with the average price of gas at $2.31.

 

The lowers gas prices in Florida are in Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater ($2.10), Orlando ($2.13) and Bradenton-Sarasota-Venice ($2.17).

The national average for gas is currently $2.33. 

AAA says the drop in gas prices is good news for the economy as people will tend to spend more money elsewhere.

Another round of discounts are expected this week as oil prices are having a tough time stabilizing.
