Florida gas prices tick up slightly over past week: AAA

Gasoline prices in Florida increased slightly over the past week, with the average price of a gallon of regular unleaded Monday at $3.38, according to the AAA Auto Club. 

That was 3 cents higher than a week earlier but down a penny from a month ago. 

"Gas prices could move even lower, after a big drop in oil prices last week," AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins said in a prepared statement. "Recent fuel reports show China's crude oil imports are declining. This (has) driven prices lower, on concerns that global fuel demand is softening."
