Palm Bay, Florida, USA - As of July 3, 2025, Florida drivers are finding a bit of relief at the pump. Recent reports indicate that the average gas price in the Sunshine State has dipped to $2.87 per gallon for regular fuel. 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. It’s worth noting that trends can vary dramatically across different regions within the state. Recent data shows that some counties are paying nearly 40 cents more than others for the same fuel.

In fact, as of June 27, 2025, Florida’s average price for regular gas was reported at $2.999 per gallon, again lower than the national average of $3.207. Such variability makes it important for drivers to keep an eye on local pricing, as Uncovering Florida points out that the highest average prices in the state range from $3.236 to $3.089 while the lowest hover between $2.939 and $2.851.

Market Fluctuations in Diesel and Mid-Grade Fuel

This foresight can save drivers a significant amount, particularly in areas where prices can fluctuate widely. By staying informed through tools like AAA’s interactive gas price map, Floridians can ensure they aren’t caught off guard when filling up.

With the holiday weekend approaching, Florida drivers may have the opportunity to enjoy their travels just a bit more, thanks to the softening gas prices. As the gas market continues to shift, keeping an eye on these trends will help in navigating the price fluctuations that come along with summer driving.
