Gas prices in Florida are dropping again, according to AAA.

Last week, the state average price per gallon increased 2 cents before falling 10 cents in the past four days.

The state average Sunday was $3.11 per gallon, the lowest daily average price point in two weeks.

AAA spokesperson Mark Jenkins attributed the change at the pump to a recent drop in crude oil prices. The price for crude oil plummeted by 12% — $7 a barrel — in the past two weeks. During that time, gasoline futures moved 24 cents per gallon lower.

“The state average could drift back down near the $3 per gallon threshold this week,” Jenkins said in a statement.

The cheapest metropolitan market in Florida for motorists is the Crestview-Fort Walton Beach area, where gas costs $2.81 per gallon on average, followed by Pensacola ($2.85) and Panama City ($2.87).

The most expensive markets are the West Palm Beach-Boca Raton area ($3.25), Naples ($3.21) and Sebring ($3.21).
