Florida gas prices declined 4 cents per gallon last week, according to AAA. Drivers are paying an average price of $3.38 per gallon, the lowest daily average since January. There is downward pressure on pump prices, despite the forecast of a possible hurricane approaching the state this week, AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins said. AAA reminded consumers in the coming days it’s possible gas stations will temporarily run out of fuel due to an influx in demand from evacuees or people topping off their tanks and filling spare gas cans. However, these outages are temporary. Florida’s gasoline is primarily provided by refineries in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. That gasoline sails into Florida’s ports and then is picked up by tanker trucks and delivered to area gas stations. Fuel deliveries should continue until the weather conditions make it unsafe to do so. Once the storm passes and the ports reopen, shipments of gasoline will begin flowing into the state again. Gasoline can also be driven over from surrounding counties or states that are not impacted by the storm.
