Palm Bay, Florida, USA - As of July 3, 2025, Florida drivers are finding a bit of relief at the pump.

This marks a decrease from last week’s price of $3.04, reflecting a downward trend that consumers are surely welcoming.

The drop of about 14 cents since last month is noteworthy, especially since the average fuel price has fluctuated significantly over the past year—from a high of $3.45 per gallon in July 2024 to as low as $2.85 on May 12, 2025. While prices have shown some variation, the current rate is still 17% lower than what Floridians were paying a year ago, when it stood at $3.45 per gallon, cluing us into the volatile nature of the gas market.

Comparative Prices and National Trends

Florida’s average gas price is currently about 9.3% lower than the national average of $3.16, which also saw a decrease from last week’s figure of $3.21 per gallon, according to Florida Today.
