Fuel rates in Florida, United States increased by $0.08 USD last week. On Sunday, January 7, a price of $3.16 USD was recorded for each gallon of gasoline. The reason for the increase in hydrocarbon costs is the prolongation of Israel’s war in Palestine.
Only last week, oil had reached a level of $ 73.81 per barrel.
This figure impacts the price of gasoline by more than 50%. El Nuevo Herald recently reported that crude oil prices have increased by approximately $2.00 USD per barrel in recent days.
However, drivers in this North American state currently pay fewer dollars than they will in 2023.
According to the American Automobile Association (AAA)-The Auto Club Group, the price of a gallon of fuel on that date was $3.30 USD.
AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins said there has been an upward trend in gas station rates in recent weeks.
Mr Jenkins also believes that this behavior may remain unchanged in the coming days.
