Gas prices have nudged up in Florida over the past week. On Monday, Jan. 27, prices at the pump are 3 cents higher than last week across the state. In the Miami area, prices are up an average 2 1/2 cents a gallon. That’s nearly 10 cents a gallon more than a month ago and 1.5 cents lower than a year ago. “Drivers will likely continue to see gas prices fluctuate through the week, but there doesn’t currently appear to be any significant measure of relief on the way as of now,” said AAA spokesperson Mark Jenkins. Several North Florida areas are averaging less than $3 a gallon as the region remains the cheapest to get gas in the state, in some places about 25 cents cents less per gallon than South Florida. Naples and Palm Beach County are among the most expensive areas for gas.
