Have gas prices in your area dropped compared with a month ago?

Gas prices in Miami-Dade and Broward counties fell by double digits to under $4 a gallon, marking the second straight weekly decline statewide. AAA recorded Miami-Dade's average at $3.95 a gallon, down 12 cents from a week ago.

Why it matters

Lower pump prices ease household fuel costs in one of Florida's most populous regions, though prices remain 94 cents a gallon higher than a year ago in Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Analysts expect volatility could return quickly after the election.

AAA data show Miami-Dade gas averaging $3.95 a gallon, 12 cents lower than a week ago and 26 cents lower than a month ago in Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Oil fell nearly $2 Sunday, with WTI at $102.15 and Brent at $111.52 per barrel, but the durability of the decline remains uncertain.

The players

AAA

AAA, the American Automobile Association, is a national motoring organization that publishes widely cited daily gasoline price averages by state and metro area.

GasBuddy

GasBuddy is a fuel-price tracking company that compiles crowd-sourced and survey-based retail gasoline prices across thousands of stations nationwide.

The details

Refinery maintenance wrapped up and seasonal demand faded with cooler weather, lowering gasoline and diesel prices across the state. North Florida remains the cheapest region to buy gas, while the Florida Keys and Palm Beach County are the most expensive.

Sunday, before Nov. 2: Oil prices fell nearly $2 in trading.
Monday, Nov. 2: AAA recorded Miami-Dade, Fort Lauderdale and statewide gas averages.
After the election: Price volatility could return.
Approaching the holidays: Prices will be shaped by Middle East and Ukraine-Russia developments.

Market Landscape

Florida's pump prices are tracking AAA's documented national pattern of post-summer declines, with gasoline falling in nearly every state over the past week. Retail prices remain elevated year over year, reflecting crude oil volatility tied to Middle East supply disruptions and Russian refinery attacks.

Florida drivers, particularly in Miami-Dade and Broward, see some relief at the pump after two straight weeks of declines. Budget planners should note prices remain nearly a dollar higher than last year, leaving room for reversals.

The takeaway

Drivers can save by filling up when prices dip, as South Florida's recent drop shows how quickly pump prices move with refinery and seasonal shifts. Monitoring weekly AAA averages helps track whether the decline holds before the holiday travel season.

What happens next

Gas prices are expected to remain volatile after the November 2026 election and as the holidays approach, with developments in the Strait of Hormuz and Ukraine-Russia conflict likely to influence direction.
